CRESTHAVEN CAPITAL LIMITED

What CRESTHAVEN CAPITAL LIMITED does

CrestHaven Capital Limited is a privately held alternative asset manager (private equity firm) headquartered operationally at 205 Hudson Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY, with a stated London domicile. The firm invests in critical and social infrastructure businesses, specifically targeting operating companies with $10M-$50M in EBITDA across healthcare technology, life sciences, aerospace innovation, and defense and security, and real estate opportunities in the $25M-$150M range focused on sports-anchored development. Its core technology is Boost.ai, a proprietary AI-powered analytics platform used internally to generate actionable insights and measurable ROI improvements across sports, entertainment, and infrastructure portfolio companies.

The firm earns revenue through two primary streams: traditional asset management fees charged on assets under management and performance-based carried interest on investment returns, both standard for an alternative asset manager. Distribution is driven by direct, relationship-based engagement with operating companies seeking investment and by GAMETIME, an invite-only annual investor summit that connects institutional investors, sports icons, and tech leaders representing over $300B in capital and has sourced $1.35B in capital through its network. The firm emphasizes deep relationships with government decision-makers (including MITRE Corporation and NATO DIANA), major sports leagues, and industry operators as core to its sourcing advantage.

Customer segments are two-fold: institutional investors (limited partners) who commit capital to CrestHaven funds, and operating companies that receive investment and operational support. The portfolio spans sports franchise ownership (Portland Thorns, Spokane Velocity), sports-anchored real estate (Seneca, The Ellison), film and media production facilities (Cinespace), defense and security technology (Ridgewood, Clearres, Civolution), and AI-enabled undersea warfare and unmanned systems. The firm reports a 4.015x blended average return across healthcare, defense, sports, and sports-anchored real estate and 5.16x on realized investments, with approximately six platform investments and five successful exits to date.
