INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We are growth strategists. We work with our portfolio companies to develop a custom approach to deliver significant sustainable revenue and profit growth. Assembling, incentivizing, and supporting the right team is foundational to our approach and our success.
Our track record has included many successful start-ups, founder-led companies, turnarounds, and carve-outs from larger corporate partners. Ultimately, we believe our growth-oriented model results in stronger companies that employ the best people, are socially responsible and deliver strong returns over the long-term.
INVESTMENT CRITERIA
Katalyst Capital invests nationwide in businesses with $500K to $7M in EBITDA. We invest in a wide range of industries with a primary focus on business services, training, infrastructure, and light industrial. We are buy-and-build investors, so consolidation opportunities where we can build a significant regional or national business around a platform company are particularly interesting to us.
While every investment is different, we look for companies that fit these parameters:
- An experienced and motivated management team
- A product or service that provides a high value to customers and has strong barriers to entry
- A diversified customer base and EBITDA margins over 10% within growing, sustainable industries
- Significant free cash flow, with low capex and working capital requirements
