Partnership
We invest in businesses and people that we respect and trust. We believe in win-win outcomes and understand that the stewardship of a business post-sale is a serious responsibility. Renstone seeks to provide business owners a liquidity event while simultaneously protecting and building on their legacy.

Sustainable Growth
We are long-term investors focused on sustainable enterprise growth, while staying true to our core ethical principles. Because we intend to hold businesses indefinitely, all operating decisions are made to maximize value for the long term with the impact to employees and customers in the forefront.

Thesis-Driven
We strive to become experts in a target industry and learn from our partners through listening and observation. We invest in proven business models operating in fragmented industries with minimal risk for technological disruption.
About Us
The principal of Renstone Capital has spent nearly a decade at various buy-side financial institutions in New York City. Throughout his career, he has focused almost entirely on investing in the lower middle market (<$10 million of EBITDA) and partnering with founder and family-owned businesses. He has closed transactions totaling +$300 million of invested capital.
Renstone Capital is seeking to acquire companies with $750K to $2 million of EBITDA. We are primarily interested in family or founder-owned businesses. We are industry-agnostic but focused on B2B services, pet-related consumer/retail, specialized distribution, and niche manufacturing.
