MPK Equity Partners

MPK Equity Partners is a Dallas-based private investment firm specializing in partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs and executives to invest in and acquire growing, profitable, category-leading companies. The firm is known for its patient and flexible capital approach, working closely with management teams to drive growth, develop executive teams, and enhance brand and market position. Unlike traditional private equity firms, MPK makes decisions on a deal-by-deal basis in collaboration with their management team partners, offering a unique and tailored approach to each investment opportunity.

The firm's investment focus spans a broad array of industries, including branded consumer, distribution, education services, franchising, home services, outdoor enthusiast, restaurants, and tech-enabled business services. MPK has significant experience in the franchising sector, having invested in a total of 17 franchisors across verticals such as home services, health, wellness, and beauty, restaurants, and youth enrichment. This extensive experience positions MPK as a leading investor in founder-owned franchisors.

MPK's investment strategy includes majority or minority recapitalizations and growth equity investments, ideally serving as the first institutional capital. The firm aims to fund organic or acquisition-led growth, recapitalize a company, buy out a shareholder, or acquire a minority piece of a business from founders or other shareholders. Economic alignment with company leaders is achieved through generous equity incentive plans tied to superior company performance. This approach reflects MPK's commitment to being a supportive partner and its dedication to the success of the companies in which it invests.
