A Different Kind of Firm
Built for the Middle Market
Expertise is not the only thing that matters. Relationships matter. Culture matters. Grit matters.
Capstone Partners is one of the largest and most successful independently owned investment banking firms in the United States, with a unique set of capabilities specially tailored to serve the needs of owners, investors, and creditors of middle market companies throughout their full business lifecycle.

We have built special teams offering integrated services, enabling us to deliver a full suite of corporate finance solutions entirely in-house to address any need.
Dedicated Research
One of our core capabilities is to deliver sector-specific, proprietary intelligence to our clients. We are a trusted source for middle market insights and emerging industry trends, with our research having been featured in many of the nation’s top news outlets and major industry publications.

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.
