Silverleaf Capital Group

What Silverleaf Capital Group does

Silverleaf Capital Group, LLC is a privately held family office investment manager founded in 2005 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. The firm deploys its own balance sheet as direct equity into two product lines: Real Estate Investment, with typical equity tickets of $1 million to $5 million per project (sourcing debt and co-investors on a promote-free basis where total capitalization exceeds $20 million), and Private Equity Growth Capital, with equity investments of $250K to $5 million in cash flow positive businesses ranging from startups to mature pre-IPO companies earning $250 million or more in revenue.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: deal intake is funneled through a single email address ([email protected]), with a stated 72-hour response commitment on submitted one-page business summaries. Investment outreach targets experienced real estate developers in "early" or underserved markets and growth-stage operators willing to cede fundamental influence to Silverleaf, with developer partners required to contribute more than 20% of equity in any given venture. Compensation is structured so that developer and operator upside derives from investment success rather than recurring management fees.

Silverleaf is led by Managing Partner Andre M. Haroche, co-founder and former CIO of Liberty Travel — a privately held leisure travel company with peak annual turnover of approximately $1.7 billion, sold in 2006. The firm's operating capacity is small (1–10 employees), and it extends its reach through external relationships including an advisor/co-investor role with Grumman Hill Group (growth equity, founded 1985) and Board representation at Green Check Verified, a FinTech/RegTech SaaS platform serving the banking industry. There is no public AUM disclosure, no fund vehicles, and no recurring revenue stream; economics are episodic and tied to realized investment returns.
