Our Firm's Name
Latitude 41 degrees North refers to the navigable waters from Montauk, at the northern tip of Long Island, New York, to the upper arm of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. These waters provide yachtsmen with some of the best sailing and boating in the world. While on most days, they yield calm waters and gentle breezes, these waters can quickly turn to often dangerous and challenging conditions with shifting shoals, hidden obstructions, and thick fog with white caped seas. With years of experience, we’ve noticed many commonalities to the sometimes treacherous journey companies embark.
As such, 41 North has dedicated itself to guiding middle market companies through the often capricious and rugged global capital marketplaces.
