Our Firm
We’re a private equity firm that invests in business services companies as a true partner to founders and owners seeking to accelerate their growth.
Since our inception in 1990, we’ve developed a time-tested and repeatable approach as we seek to drive transformative change in our portfolio companies, increase their value, and position them for the next stage of growth.
We’re thesis-driven investors. We identify, research, and become educated in the areas in which we invest. This enables us to deploy capital and resources quickly and with deep conviction in opportunities where we can work with management teams as we seek to build scalable platforms and drive meaningful business transformation through our Capvalue Framework®.
Capvalue Framework
The Capvalue Framework® helps accelerate business transformation. It provides industry best practices, access to subject matter experts, technologies, and human and capital resources, to help companies scale quicker and create value faster. The framework is flexible. It’s adaptable to the needs of companies based on specific stages in their evolution.
We’re passionate business builders that support our companies and management teams by working tirelessly hand-in-hand while providing strategic resources and expertise.
The Capstreet Culture Code
In everything we do, we hold ourselves to the highest standards and act with our core values in mind. We call these core values our Capstreet Culture Code. They’re an extension of who we are and are critical to our success.
- We cultivate partnership in everything we do and every interaction we have.
- We act quickly to engage with portfolio companies and believe strong financial outcomes are the result, rather than the objective, of building great businesses.
- We cherish and practice transparency at all levels, doing what we say and sharing knowledge with others where appropriate.
- We foster lifelong learning to adapt to changing environments, stay competitive, foster a growth mindset, and boost creative problem-solving.
- We empower our employees to take ownership, facilitating trust, critical thinking, and adjustments where necessary.
- We use data and strive for continuous improvement to make positive long-term impact.
What founders say
We were attracted to Capstreet because of their knowledge of our space. It was obvious they had done their work and developed a strong thesis.
Capstreet has been a phenomenal and very supportive partner. They have a unique understanding of the industrial services market and our customer base, which is special.
Capstreet’s Capvalue® approach has enabled us to scale our business quickly and create significant value for our customers, employees, and founders.
Capstreet has really added value, helping us define a strategy to achieve brand leadership. They clearly understood the opportunity intersecting industry, infrastructure, and software.
Testimonials and endorsements of portfolio company executives and/or business owners are provided to demonstrate the benefits of working with the Capstreet team. They are not provided to solicit investors or to illustrate investment experience with Capstreet. Executives featured in the testimonials and endorsements receive a salary and economics from their respective portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all executives stand to benefit from Capstreet’s success and their company is owned or partially owned by a Capstreet fund and is thus incented to provide favorable references.
