Craftsman Capital is a Dallas-based, operationally-focused private equity firm investing in lower middle-market companies that exhibit a strong potential for growth. The firm has been allocated $40 million of dedicated, long-term capital and is seeking control investments in operating companies with EBITDA of $1 million - $5 million that are based in Texas or surrounding states. We provide equity capital to privately-held businesses to facilitate buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth investments. We welcome referrals on opportunities in the following industries: energy services, manufacturing, value-add distribution, service-oriented, consumer products, multi-unit, healthcare, education, and IT enabled. We tend to avoid companies that are start-up, early-stage, pre-revenue, project finance, low growth, and real estate centered.
