Our Investment Philosophy
We know businesses require more than just capital to succeed. We formed Amercape to invest alongside management in proven, growing, small middle-market companies and to build new ventures with experienced operators where operational excellence drives sustainable competitive advantages.
We partner with managers whom we like, trust and admire and whose interests align with our own. Through our investments, we enable current company owners to meet their needs for capital, liquidity and diversification.
We believe that private equity is a relationship business, not a transactional one. We strive to treat everyone, including our managers, intermediaries and service providers, like partners.
We know that earnings growth is the most important factor in a successful investment. We provide our partner companies with the capital, guidance, strategy, and operational support needed to create additional value through technology integration and process optimization.
Acting with integrity is the fundamental principle guiding all of our actions.
Our partners bring decades of experience in regulated industries and operational transformation. Since 2020, we are focused on generating superior returns through disciplined investment in businesses with defensible market positions.
Investment Strategy
Amercape is an Independent Sponsor who operates through two complementary approaches: partnering with established profitable businesses to accelerate growth through digital transformation, and launching new ventures with seasoned operators who bring proven industry expertise.
While headquartered in Houston, we invest across North America with particular strength in Texas and the Southwest, where our team's relationships and market knowledge provide distinct advantages.
Our approach to building value focuses on four key areas:
We provide customized capital solutions including buyouts, add-on acquisition financing, and new venture seed funding with deeply experienced operators.
Target Companies
We prioritize partnerships with leaders who share our values of integrity, operational excellence, and long-term thinking. The best investments come from mutual respect and aligned incentives.

For sophisticated investors only.
Our focus on digital transformation as a core value driver sets us apart. While many PE firms talk about technology, we make it central to every investment. Combined with our dual strategy of investing and building, we can capture opportunities across the entire business lifecycle.
Very. We're operational partners, not passive investors. Our team works directly with management on strategic initiatives, technology implementation, and growth planning. For new ventures, we're involved from day one in business model development and market execution.
Yes, we invest across North America. While our Houston base gives us strong Texas and Southwest networks, we pursue compelling opportunities wherever they exist, particularly when we can add meaningful value through our expertise and connections.
We typically hold investments for 5-7 years, focusing on building sustainable value rather than quick exits. Our goal is to help create market-leading companies that command premium valuations when the time is right to exit.
We bring both strategic guidance and tactical implementation support. This includes technology vendor selection, process digitization, data analytics implementation, and customer experience enhancement. Our approach is practical and ROI-focused, not theoretical.
