Wall Street experience, Main Street values.

Prospector Equity is a different kind of investment firm. We’re built on a decade of private equity and growth investing experience — over $400 million deployed across industries — but our values are rooted in relationships, legacy, and hard work.

We’re not looking for turnarounds or trophy assets. We’re looking to partner with one exceptional business and steward it into its next chapter — with care, conviction, and a real willingness to get our hands dirty.

A Track Record of Doing the Work

Our team has spent the last ten years investing alongside some of Wall Street’s most respected firms. We've helped lead over a dozen acquisitions, from founder-led businesses to add-on integrations, across services, industrials, healthcare, and software. We know what it takes to build a company — and what it takes to keep it great.

That experience spans the full capital stack, from equity to credit, and across a range of industries. But what matters most is that we know how to listen, learn, and lead — whether we’re in the boardroom or on the warehouse floor.

Operating Experience, Not Just Capital

Before founding Prospector, our principal helped build two investment platforms from the ground up as one of the first hires — designing business processes, hiring teams, and working shoulder to shoulder with founders to scale. He also served as Chief of Staff to the CRO of a multi-billion dollar technology company, where he led corporate development and built partnerships from scratch. We know what it's like to be in the trenches — and how to support teams as they grow.

A Thoughtful Approach to Technology

We take a practical approach to technology: not as buzzword, but as a tool to help great teams do even better work. From automating back-office workflows to implementing first-principles systems that make life easier for your staff, we bring a quiet focus to modernizing businesses in a way that supports people — not replaces them.

People First. Always.

Above all, we believe businesses are built by people, not spreadsheets. That’s why we focus on preserving company culture, supporting loyal employees, and making decisions that honor the legacy of the owner. We’re not here to cut corners or squeeze profits — we’re here to build something lasting.

We view every employee as a future leader, and we’re committed to investing in their growth, development, and well-being. If we partner, your team becomes our team — and we take that responsibility seriously.

The “Midnight Oil” Guarantee

We don’t sit in ivory towers. We roll up our sleeves. Whether that means working late to solve a payroll system issue, jumping into sales calls, or taking over a backlog so your staff can breathe — we’re hands-on, day in and day out.

When we partner with a business, we commit fully — not just to growth, but to doing things the right way. We’ll sweat the small stuff, because we know that’s where trust is built.
