Techas Capital

Overview

Techas Capital is an innovative, purpose-driven investment firm making capital investments in companies based in the United States. They partner with exceptional, values-aligned entrepreneurs to accelerate the growth of companies that create shared, sustainable, long-term value for the benefit of all stakeholders—customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders. The firm's name, 'Techas,' is derived from a Native American word meaning friendship, reflecting the founders' longstanding partnership and commitment to collaborative value creation. The firm seeks to invest between $10 and $100 million through two distinct investment strategies: Private Equity and Mezzanine Debt. In Private Equity, Techas Capital targets buyouts, recapitalizations, growth capital, and strategic acquisitions, aiming for both majority and minority ownership with significant board representation. In Mezzanine Debt, the focus is on recapitalizations and growth capital, targeting significant minority ownership with board representation, utilizing subordinated debt and preferred equity structures. Techas Capital's investment criteria include companies with sales ranging from $20 to $250 million, exceptional growth prospects, and strong, stable market positions. They collaborate with purpose-driven entrepreneurs through a fast and flexible decision-making process to maximize value for all stakeholders. An example of their investment is in Waterloo Sparkling Water, a rapidly growing brand known for its bold flavors and health and environmental attributes, where they partnered with Flexis Capital and JW Levin Management Partners to acquire a controlling interest.
