CapitalPad is a minority equity investor and deal-by-deal private equity platform that invests directly alongside independent sponsors and self-funded searchers. It also operates a curated co-investment marketplace for accredited investors, family offices, and small institutions (at no cost to sponsors).
CapitalPad is an equity-only capital provider that deploys check sizes between $1M - $2.5M per transaction for independent sponsor deals, and can invest as little as $500k for self-funded search and ETA entrepreneurship-through-acquisition deals that meet our criteria. CapitalPad does not pursue control buyouts.
The CapitalPad platform is two-sided. One side features acquisition entrepreneurs, including independent sponsors, self-funded searchers, and ETA operators, while the other side is comprised of funds, family offices, RIAs, and accredited investors actively seeking minority, deal-by-deal private equity or co-investment opportunities.
CapitalPad heavily curates opportunities for investors, only presenting deals that pass internal underwriting and quality filters, then presents investors with consistently structured deal rooms, diligence materials, and optional participation on a deal-by-deal basis. Funds and family offices on the platform get direct access to deals, while accredited investors are aggregated into a single-purpose SPV for simplified transactions and clean cap tables. CapitalPad targets 8-12 deals per year.
CapitalPad focuses on US-based, difficult to disrupt industries in the SMB and lower middle market that traditionally have less reliance on technology. Industrials, home services, healthcare, manufacturing, business services, etc.
Typical target companies from sponsors generate $1M–$10M+ EBITDA, stable cash flow, and generally operate in non-cyclical sectors. For self-funded search deals, EBITDA can be as low as $750k
