Strategic Partners in Building the Next Stage of Great Businesses
For Owners
Talis Capital partners with owners pursuing a sale, transition, or growth partnership—providing near-term liquidity and aligned strategic support to build long-term value for the business, its people, and its legacy.
For Investors
Partnering with exceptional businesses in sectors where we can unlock strategic growth and deliver durable, long-term attractive returns.
Our Philosophy
Having been founders, leaders and investors ourselves, we believe great businesses are built by PEOPLE! Strategy, capital, and technology matter—but trust, collaboration, and shared ambition are just as critical to long-term success. That belief guides how we choose partners, structure transactions, and work together over time.
At Talis Capital, we believe the most compelling opportunities exist at the intersection of strong businesses with underutilized growth opportunities. Many lower-middle market companies possess exceptional products, people, and customer relationships—but lack the capital, resources, technical systems, or strategic support to scale efficiently. We strive to bridge that gap.
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
Talis partners with owners, management teams, and capital providers to pursue strategic growth initiatives tailored to each business. Our model emphasizes alignment, flexibility, and long-term value creation rather than rigid fund mandates.
We bring together:
Institutional investment discipline
Operating and founder experience
Technology and data-driven decision making
A pragmatic, partnership-oriented mindset
Our goal is not financial engineering—it is building better, more durable businesses.
Our Strategic Edge
Owner-Operator-Investor Mindset
As former founders, operators, and long-term investors, we understand what it takes to build and scale businesses of different sizes and scales—and apply that perspective to drive aligned decision-making to achieve durable and attractive long-term results.
Exceptional Businesses
We identify high-quality businesses with strong fundamentals, loyal customers, and ideally some differentiated offerings—but where growth opportunities are underutilized and thoughtful investment and execution can unlock the next stage of value.
Strategic Growth
Drawing on our hands-on experience scaling businesses from early-stage to enterprise scale, we help leadership teams identify and execute growth initiatives appropriate to their size, sector, and maturity—including market expansion, pricing optimization, and selective, complementary acquisitions—focused on scalable, profitable outcomes.
Technology Enablement
With more than 25 years of experience building, scaling, and investing in technology-driven businesses, we help companies modernize legacy systems and adopt tools, data, and processes that improve efficiency, insight, and scalability—without disrupting what already works.
How We Work
Who We Partner With
Most important, we look to partner with good people: collaborative leaders with a growth mindset who value partner alignment, transparency, and long-term thinking.
We partner with founders, owners, and management teams who have built strong businesses and are ready for the next chapter of growth.
These are typically companies with a solid foundation—profitable operations, loyal customers, and differentiated offerings—where thoughtful strategy, technology enablement, and selective acquisition can meaningfully accelerate scale.
Owner Alignment
We work best with owners and CEOs who are thoughtful about both liquidity and the future of their business. Our partnerships often include owners who:
View the transaction as the next phase of growth, not just a one-time event
Seek a thoughtful transition that balances near-term liquidity with the company’s long-term success—whether through continued involvement or a phased step back
Care deeply about their team, culture, and the legacy they’ve built
We recognize that every owner’s goals are different. Many seek near-term liquidity, while also wanting to preserve upside through continued ownership, future growth, or participation—active or passive—in the next chapter of the business.
Our role is to support owners as they take that next step — while ensuring the business they built continues to thrive.
Where We Focus
While we remain flexible by opportunity, we are drawn to sectors where strategic growth and technology enablement create durable advantages, including:
Business and professional services
Engineering and technical services
Tech-enabled and technology-adjacent businesses
We prioritize growth opportunity over labels—favoring companies with strong customer relationships, recurring or repeat revenue, and clear paths to scale.
