Dobbs Equity Partners, LLC is a private, family-owned business that makes private equity investments in existing and start-up operating companies. The firm is not a private equity fund in that they invest family assets and do not seek to raise capital from outside parties. Dobbs Equity does not have a fixed investment horizon, but are willing to invest indefinitely. The firm is primarily interested in businesses that allow investments of $3 million to $25 million, although there is the ability to do larger transactions. An ideal investment is a company and owner/manager with a reasonably profitable business (greater than $3 million of EBITDA) that is scalable but needs a long-term capital partner that can help the business grow. Dobbs will not invest in real estate, information technology, speculative technology, biotech or anything with uncertainty regarding proof of concept of regulatory approval.
