9FB Capital is a lower mid market Private Equity firm which is operator-investor focused on buying, integrating, and compounding value in fragmented industries.
At 9FB Capital, we pair disciplined acquisitions with a repeatable integration playbook: cross-selling across shared customer bases, driving organic growth with modern GTM and tech, unlocking financial efficiencies, and standardizing operations with EOS principles.
We move quickly, treat founders like partners, and build platforms designed for optionality—recap or strategic exit on a predictable timeline.
How 9FB Wins (Thesis)
Fragmentation → Platform Scale: Consolidate durable niche leaders into coherent platforms with centralized ops, finance, and data.
Playbook, Not Experiments: COFS methodology—Cross-sell, Organic growth, Financial synergies, System leverage (EOS)—woven into day-one integration.
Aligned, Founder-Friendly Deals: Creative structures (e.g., seller notes, earn-outs, thoughtful rollover) that protect legacy, team, and customer experience.
Liquidity Engine: Multiple value streams—closing and monitoring fees, cost-of-capital arbitrage, recurring dividends, management fees, and carried interest—fuel disciplined reinvestment and resilience without relying on any single outcome.
Clock-Driven Execution: Fast diligence, fast closing, faster integration—so we create real choices for stakeholders sooner.
