ERIC
LINN

Chief Executive Officer

Eric Linn is the Chief Executive Officer of Oak Point Partners. Linn has utilized his extensive background to build Oak Point into the leading institutional purchaser of unknown assets over the past two decades.

Oak Point traces its successful history back to its first purchase of unknown assets at the tail end of a large corporate bankruptcy case in 2006. At the time, Linn recognized that there was no existing way for trustees to monetize unknown assets at the end of a large bankruptcy case. Linn and his team developed the Remnant Asset purchase, buying the rights to any remaining known and unknown assets.

Since that first purchase of Remnant Assets, Oak Point has purchased the rights to unknown assets from over 2,000 companies, including a mix of bankrupt entities and large healthy growing corporations. Oak Point has expanded its team and resources dramatically since those early days, creating a successful business and a new industry from the ground up. Today, Oak Point is proud to provide the smart way to monetize unknown assets to Fortune 500 publicly traded companies, portfolio companies of many of the largest private equity firms, and privately held businesses.
