There is purpose in our name. We are here to honor founders, operators, and businesses — advising those who are building, and operating alongside those ready to grow.
The Latin Honos, or Honor. There is purpose in our name. We are an operator-led advisory firm and holding company built to serve founders and businesses at every stage of their journey. Whether you're building something new, scaling what works, or looking for an operator-partner to grow alongside you — Honos Capital is built around one principle: honor the people behind the business. Our mission is expanding a culture of excellence and creating long-term opportunity for our partners, employees, and their families.
From early-stage startups to middle-market businesses, we deliver growth advisory, operational strategy, "next round" preparation, and fractional executive services to founders who need an experienced operator in their corner.
We are operators first. Honos Capital builds and operates a family of businesses with a long-term lens — focused on creating lasting value for employees, partners, and the communities they serve. We're not a fund. We're in it with you.
We connect purpose-driven founders with committed, mission-aligned capital. Through our deep network, we accelerate growth for businesses that lead with values — and match them with investors who believe the same.
First and foremost, I am a husband and father of two. That is what this is built around — legacy for my family, and for the people I work with.
My career has been spent at the intersection of private equity, operations, and advisory — working alongside operating partners and portfolio leadership teams across more than thirty middle-market PE firms. Consulting organizations, SaaS platforms, venture ecosystems — the common thread has always been helping leaders recognize the inflection point they're in, and connecting them with the right people to move forward.
I believe in being helpful, not impressive.
How can we help you?
