Laird Norton Company (LNC) is a seventh generation diversified holding company with significant investments in real estate, financial services companies and private equity funds. We believe patience isn’t just a virtue. It’s an advantage. Nimble, efficient, and highly experienced, we are long-term investors who have put lasting partnerships over quick profits for more than 150 years. Our reputation as responsible business stewards is built upon seven generations of doing business the right way—with fairness, transparency, and respect. LNC is actively seeking to make long-term equity investments of between $5 million and $50 million in lower middle market operating companies and commercial real estate. We are located in Seattle, WA and focus on investments in the Western United States, including the Rocky Mountain States, and British Columbia. LNC invests patient equity capital in leading lower middle-market companies in consumer brands, building materials and asset management. Because we invest from our own capital base, we’re able to structure transactions in ways private equity firms can’t match. We are distinct in that we are never a forced buyer, nor a forced seller. Our long-term investment horizon means that decisions are based on reasonable return rates and sustained growth, not arbitrary holding periods and rigid IRR clocks. We do not shy away from taking on minority positions and will invest in companies with an EBITDA between $1 and $20 million. Over the course of our history, we’ve invested hundreds of millions of dollars in dozens of organizations. Today, we’re focused on investing in companies that feature experienced management teams, have business models built for the long-term, and reflect our values.

Currence facilitates a competitive market and transparency while preserving the quality and security of the payment system in the Netherlands. The Currence mission The Currence mission is to facilitate a competitive market and to create transparency in the uniform payment system in the Netherlands while preserving and continuing to develop the quality, security and efficiency of the uniform payment products. Currence does that by creating a clearly defined level playing field in which all parties wishing to use the Currence payment products, PIN, Chipknip, Acceptgiro, Incasso/Machtigen and iDEAL, are able to operate. Currence does this by making a substantial contribution to the maintenance and development of a high-quality, efficient and secure payment system in the Netherlands. With clear rules and regulations relating to product use and the product environment plus transparent supervision of compliance with the rules, Currence creates the same conditions for all players. Currence was set up on 1 January 2005 on the initiative of eight Dutch banks (ABN AMRO, Rabobank, ING, Fortis, SNS Bank, Friesland Bank, Van Lanschot Bankiers and BNG). About the name Currence is not an existing word but it does have associations with English ‘current’ and ‘currency’. There is immediately a suggestion that it has something to do with money. But there are other connotations, too, such as ‘being up-to-date’ and ‘flow’. And those are the qualities we want to communicate: we stand for a modern, straightforward and efficient payment system. In Dutch, the word also suggests competition (Dutch: ‘concurrentie’). That, too, is not accidental, because facilitating greater competition is an important goal of our organisation.
