Horsepower Ventures
Bold ideas. Practical capital. Real ownership.
Horsepower Ventures was founded with one goal in mind: to connect investors, family offices, and private equity groups with curated investment opportunities on a deal-by-deal basis.
We focus on an often-overlooked space in the market—companies that are too advanced for traditional venture capital but not yet ready for private equity. These are businesses with strong fundamentals and EBITDA ranging from $1 million to $25 million, as well as select startups that have been sufficiently de-risked.
This middle market represents tremendous untapped potential. While venture capital typically concentrates on early-stage startups and private equity targets mature companies nearing exit, Horsepower Ventures sits at the nexus—where growing companies with proven revenue need growth capital. Through our private networks, we provide access to high-quality deal flow, the lifeblood of any successful investment model.
Our structure is intentionally lean and flexible. Unlike traditional fund models, where returns are diluted by administrative overhead, our investors participate directly in individual opportunities. You choose where to put your capital to work, gaining equity and returns tied directly to the companies you believe in. This deal-by-deal approach de-risks participation, reduces costs, and maximizes investor control.
While we may explore a fund structure in the future, our board believes proving this thesis deal by deal is the right first step. In addition to direct opportunities, there may also be the chance to invest in Horsepower Ventures itself as we grow, resource the team, and expand our reach.
Horsepower Ventures is designed for investors who want access, flexibility, and value—without compromise.
