Enfield Capital Partners

What Enfield Capital Partners does

Enfield Capital Partners is a privately-held single-family office founded in 2020 by the Stern family following the December 2020 sale of Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care to AccentCare for over $1 billion. The firm is headquartered in Lincolnwood, Illinois, deploys its own family capital, and does not appear to raise external limited-partner commitments. Its investment strategy spans five verticals: growth equity partnerships with entrepreneurs, private capital (minority and majority positions), real assets as a limited partner in multi-family, industrial, and senior housing projects, opportunistic private credit (corporate and real estate loans), and passive alternative-fund positions. The firm targets founders of privately held companies — particularly in healthcare services, senior housing, and commercial real estate — providing capital alongside legal, tax, and operating expertise drawn from the team's prior experience building Seasons Hospice from a single site to 30+ locations.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on operator credibility rather than technology or scale: the nine-person team is anchored by Abraham Stern (Chairman & CLO), Todd Stern (CEO and former Seasons CEO), Jonathan Stern (EVP, Private Credit), David Donenberg (COO and former Seasons CFO/EVP), and Sherry Roberts (CFO), with most senior members having previously built or financed healthcare-services businesses. Deal flow is generated through a website submission portal, industry referrals, and direct outreach; the firm does not market publicly and operates with no disclosed management-fee revenue stream. Recent disclosed direct investments include leading the $8.5M Series A in healthcare-AI prior-authorization company Ethermed (April 2026) and participating in the $10.2M Series A in workforce-transitions platform When (January 2026).

From a business-model standpoint, Enfield is a capital allocator, not a software or services vendor: it has no proprietary technology, no API or platform product, no patents or certifications, and no AI/ML capabilities of its own. Revenue mechanics consist entirely of capital appreciation on portfolio exits, interest income from private-credit loans, and distributions from fund and real-asset positions — none of which are publicly reported. Operating geographies are limited to the United States, and the customer base is defined by portfolio-company founders and lending counterparties rather than recurring enterprise contracts.
