What Siltstone Capital does

Siltstone Capital is a Houston, Texas-based, privately held multi-strategy alternative investment platform founded in 2011. The firm deploys capital across four core strategies: mineral rights (one of the largest portfolios in the core Appalachian and Permian Basin regions), legal finance (private credit investments in commercial litigation, arbitration, and judgment enforcement worldwide), energy transition and power (clean energy infrastructure spanning solar, hydroelectric, and battery storage), and real estate (institutional-quality assets acquired during market dislocations). The firm is co-founded and led by Robert Le and Joshua Sanger, supported by Managing Partners Prasant Gondipalli (COO) and Jim Batson (General Counsel, Head of Legal Finance), CFO Kim Ta, and an operational team spanning minerals, legal, investor relations, accounting, and events.

The firm's revenue model combines alternative investment management across multi-cycle asset classes with transaction-driven legal finance deployments. Capital is sourced from leading institutional investors through direct relationship management and distributed to two principal customer sets: institutional investors seeking diversified alternative allocations, and commercial plaintiffs, attorneys, and law firms pursuing non-recourse funding for meritorious claims. Siltstone structures legal finance offerings as single-case financing, post-judgment and award enforcement, law firm portfolio facilities, and diversified case portfolios, targeting a damages-to-funding ratio of at least 10 to 1. Underlying capabilities emphasize fundamental research, proprietary data analytics, and active portfolio management rather than disclosed AI/ML systems.

Siltstone also owns and operates LITFINCON, a global litigation finance conference series that debuted in Houston and is expanding to Singapore (June 2026) and Amsterdam (October 2026). The conference positions the firm as a market convener and supports deal sourcing across its legal finance vertical. Distribution is relationship-led (events, direct outreach, and an investor portal at sscfundservices.com), with no public pricing or fee schedule disclosed. The firm holds GDPR and CCPA compliance certifications and serves global markets including the United States, common-law jurisdictions, and major arbitration forums.
