Working With Us

Partner With an Experienced Private Equity Firm

New Harbor Capital specializes in lower middle-market growth investments. But in a sea of similar firms, we believe what sets us apart isn’t what we do, but how we do it.

We believe in collaborations, not buy-outs, and elevating our business partners, not stifling them. We’re committed to tailoring your growth strategy to your long-term vision. Innovation excites us, inspires us and drives us to build mutually successful partnerships.

We believe a hungry, growth-oriented mindset is a successful mindset — but only if that growth is deliberate and sustainable. We seek to pair the tenacity of an entrepreneurial focus with the sophistication of large-firm experience to make big moves that make sense for your business.

For us, ambition isn’t about pressuring you or forcing your hand. A give-and-take relationship means knowing when to step up and when to step back, and always puts your perspective and interests first when mapping our shared journey to success.

“Every once in a very long while, a business leader has the opportunity to combine a brief moment of intuition with years of experience, business knowledge, psychology, strategy and negotiating skill. That moment is the difference between dumb luck and fabulous opportunity. In the fifth year of our partnership, New Harbor seized such a moment and I was the benefactor.
