A Different Kind of Firm

Expertise is not the only thing that matters. Relationships matter. Culture matters. Grit matters.

Entrepreneurial Roots

Like many of our clients, we started as a small bootstrapped venture with five employees in a single office. We understand the power of acquisitions, with Capstone Partners having completed eight transactions of our own as a part of our firm’s growth strategy over the past two decades. We understand what it means to invest years into growing a private company, and we know what we do is mission-critical for the clients we serve. Very often, it represents their life’s work. As business builders ourselves, we embrace this deeply personal role in their legacy, and we’re unyielding in our commitment to being our clients’ most trusted partner for independent, expert advice and unparalleled solutions to meet any challenge or need.
