Clearsight Advises L Squared Capital Partners on an Investment in Ergo

Clearsight Advisors, Inc. (“Clearsight”) is pleased to announce that it served as the financial advisor to L Squared Capital Partners on a growth investment in Ergo. The deal team included Brendan Curran, Thomas Foreman, and Joel Kallett.

L Squared Capital Partners announced a significant growth investment in Ergo (the “Company”), a technology-enabled geopolitical and strategic intelligence firm. For nearly twenty years, leading corporations, financial institutions, and governments have trusted Ergo’s data-driven insights to help them anticipate global opportunities and risks and shape strategic responses. Ergo marks L Squared’s fifth platform investment from Fund IV, an $840 million fund closed in April 2023. Ergo’s management team will retain a significant ownership stake in the Company, underscoring their long-term commitment to their clients, and to Ergo’s growth and success.

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in New York City, Ergo delivers actionable foresight mapped to bottom-line impact necessary for this era of rapid global change. The Company helps clients navigate “the geopolitical / technological supercycle” through the Flashpoints Forum – its membership community built upon probabilistic forecasts, real-time intelligence, and exclusive programming. Ergo’s Bespoke Solutions and Due Diligence services provide clients with tailored intelligence covering opportunity assessment, market analysis, competitive positioning, and investment target evaluation to support high-stakes strategic and investment decisions.

“Ergo is a founder-led, technology-enabled services business operating in a market where proprietary insight and trust are essential,” said Randall Hunt, Managing Partner at L Squared. “We’re excited to partner with R.P. Eddy and the Ergo team to build on the Company’s position as a global leader in intelligence and advisory services at the intersection of geopolitics, technology, and economics.”
