Investment Criteria
We partner with owners seeking liquidity through recapitalizations or succession planning.
At KASS Capital, we support business owners by preserving what makes their companies successful—team, brand, and operational independence—while introducing thoughtful improvements over time. Our approach is collaborative, long-term, and growth-focused.
Financial Criteria:
EBITDA from $2M to 8M (no minimum for add-ons to existing portfolio companies)
Revenue $1M to $50M
Consistent historical profitability, not a single strong year
Areas of focus:
We are industrial agnostic, but we love to invest in the following industries:
Commercial / Business Services
B2B Distribution
IT and Managed Services
Health and Wellness
Media
Business characteristics:
We love business that have the following elements:
A management team that wants to stay, or a clear path to replacing an exiting owner
Recurring or repeat revenue
Low customer concentration
Limited exposure to economic cyclicality
Limited ability to be negatively disrupted by AI
Business over 5 years old
Situations
We love business that have the following elements:
Recapitalizations and partial liquidity for founders
Full exits with succession needs
Corporate carve-outs and divestitures
Add-on acquisitions for existing portfolio companies
Geography:
We’re geographically flexible, with partnerships across the U.S., though many originate in the New York City and Tri-State area where we maintain a strong presence.
How we fund and close:
We invest on a deal-by-deal basis alongside a network of family offices, independent sponsors' capital partners, and private credit relationships. We are actively pursuing our first platform investment and have committed interest from 7+ capital partners.
We do not sign an LOI we don't have a funding path for.
