Carnyx is a boutique investment firm that actively partners with family- and founder-owned businesses that provide mission-critical services to their customers. We focus on companies taht serve critical parts of American infrastructure or provide essential, recurring services to their customers. We help owners transition, grow, or take chips off the table by structuring deals around their goals.
 
Carnyx invests on a deal-by-deal basis, meaning that we structure each transaction to best fit the needs of the business owner. We bring in capital as well as advisors and operating partners that are best suited to support the next phase of the business. High-level examples of transaction structures include:
 

• Buyout: Acquisition of up to 100% of a company where the owner is looking to fully retire

• Growth Partnership: 51-80% acquisition where an owner wants to retain a longer-term day-to-day role in the company or partially “cash out” as part of a transition to a new generation

• Minority Growth Capital: Acquisition of less than 50% of the company where ownership wants outside support to strengthen operations or build out new initiatives

​

We look for companies that have over $5 million of revenue and $2 million of EBITDA (annual adjusted profit) but will opportunistically look at smaller opportunities.
