Carlo Santelli

I could not verify Carlo Santelli’s current title, employment status, LinkedIn profile, headshot, or direct contact information from public web sources. The current Stonehenge Capital team pages reviewed do not list a Carlo Santelli, and web searches for his name, email prefix, and Stonehenge affiliation did not return a reliable public profile.

Stonehenge Capital Company itself was founded in 1999 by former Bank One principals to manage economic-development investment funds. Its Direct Investing practice provides capital through federal and state New Markets Tax Credit programs, state-targeted small-business investment funds, and an SBIC vehicle, the Stonehenge Community Impact Fund, L.P.

The firm describes itself as a nationally recognized impact investor focused on providing “transformational capital” to lower-middle-market operating companies. It manages more than $1.4 billion in investments across distressed U.S. communities, more than $400 million in assets under management through state-targeted small-business investment funds, and raised a $224 million SBIC fund in 2020.
