CGO Capital is an independent sponsor and investment firm focused on partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses in the lower middle market.

We invest in companies with strong fundamentals and work alongside founders and management teams to support thoughtful transitions, professionalize operations, and build scalable platforms for long-term value creation. Our approach is operator-led and execution-driven. We are not passive investors. We commit time, judgment, and operating experience to help businesses reach their next stage of growth.

CGO Capital specializes in control investments and platform acquisitions, with a focus on service-oriented and distribution-driven businesses. We seek opportunities where improved systems, data, leadership infrastructure, and disciplined capital allocation can meaningfully enhance performance.

We invest on a deal-by-deal basis alongside a network of aligned family offices and institutional partners, allowing for flexibility, speed, and strong alignment with founders and management teams.

At CGO Capital, we believe the best outcomes are created through trust, alignment, and execution. Our goal is to preserve what founders have built while helping them scale forward with confidence.
