Amethyst Capital Partners is a North American-focused investment firm that provides flexible and patient capital to support value creation within middle-market businesses.
We are often the first outside investor in a business and we offer customized capital solutions designed to fit each company’s unique situation and strategy while facilitating the objectives of selling and/or continuing shareholders.
We work with owners and management teams to develop shared visions for the future; design capital strategies to best support these visions and leverage our robust networks and resources to support sustained value creation.
Flexible Capital Solutions
Our capital comes from high-net-worth family offices and other like-minded investors, who share the fundamental belief that each business should be capitalized for long success. Our investment timeline is not dependent upon raising the next fund, and we therefore have the ability to put the business above all else when making capital decisions.
We believe strongly in aligning economic interests among all key stakeholders, including co-investors and management teams.
We work side-by-side with owners and management teams to develop shared visions for future growth and we continuously strive to leverage our robust networks and resources to support long-term value creation.
Investment Focus
Our collective experiences in industries such as Tech-enabled Business Services, Infrastructure Services and Consumer Products/Services have allowed us to develop deep, relevant and meaningful industry relationships.
Relationships
Strong network of diverse industry relationships and partnerships.
Experience
Our team leverages over 60 years of combined industry experience and expertise.

Inspiration
The Amethyst stone is a symbol of peace, strength and serenity (calmness), it protects owners from poor decisions (levelheadedness), it is resistant to weathering and everyday challenges (relentless – only in a positive way – to overcome obstacles) and it is intense in its color and appeal (solid, focused and the warmth does not diminish over time).
Amethysts are found in many locations around the world (we will go anywhere for a good opportunity or partner) and because of the stone’s rich deposit base, it is considered semi-precious, not precious (we take life seriously, but not too seriously).
