True Path Capital pursues majority-control investments in lower middle market businesses with $2-7MM of EBITDA and, for software, $3-12MM of ARR with at least $1MM of EBITDA. We focus on education, workforce, healthcare services, staffing, and other specialized people-intensive businesses where recruiting, training, retention, service quality, and workforce productivity are core drivers of value creation. We are also comfortable with complex but solvable situations short of distress, including ownership transitions, founder recapitalizations, leadership gaps, and other inflection points where active ownership and operator judgment can create clarity, stability, and growth.
Operator-investor perspective / pattern recognition. True Path is led by a former investment banker, private equity investor, and hands-on CEO/operator with more than 20 years of experience across education and other people-intensive sectors. That experience includes materially scaling performance, doubling P&Ls, leading businesses in the $25-70MM revenue range, and most recently guiding an investor-backed company through significant growth and a successful sale to a strategic buyer. This background drives faster underwriting, better pattern recognition, and sharper judgment on where risk hides and where operational leverage truly exists.
Network + execution support. True Path is deeply networked through YPO and Harvard Business School. Raj Kaji serves as the Global Chair of YPO’s Education & Workforce community and is a founder/administrator of the EOS community within YPO. These networks provide differentiated access to executives, operators, advisors, and diligence resources, which helps accelerate evaluation and strengthen execution when a fit emerges.
Selective capital + active ownership. True Path invests on a deal-by-deal basis alongside a growing network of family offices, sponsor relationships, and high net worth investors. That structure allows for selectivity, flexibility, and close involvement rather than a fund deployment mindset. We prioritize responsiveness, thoughtful structuring, and hands-on ownership, including Day 1 CEO coverage when needed, while working with existing management or augmenting leadership based on what the situation requires.
