A Different Kind of Firm

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

Established Brand Reputation

Having completed close to a thousand deals and engagements, we have an established reach into leading strategic acquirers, PE firms, and Wall Street partners in the middle market.

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.

Mission, Vision & Values

Capstone Partner’s mission is to serve our clients and our people with unyielding passion and unmatched skills to deliver superior value. Our vision is to build a firm that is strong, well-managed, fast-growing, exciting, and innovative with meaningful relationships, high business ethics, and an elite reputation – a firm that offers great opportunities where people are proud to work.  We are results-oriented. We take pride in our client performance ratings and the value we create. Our bullish approach is simple: partner with clients where we are certain our capabilities can have a significant impact. As a team, we subscribe to professional values we feel make a difference in our client relationships and the quality of our representation.

Capstone Culture

We often refer to ourselves as “a different kind of firm” and nowhere is that more apparent than in our culture. Our goal is to be trusted partners; not only to our clients but to each other and our community. Our culture internally of sharing, collaboration, and teamwork makes a real difference. No matter how large we get, spend some time with us and you’ll see instantly how much we care for one another, have fun together, and share a unified sense of purpose and community commitment that truly sets us apart.
