Facilitating business owner’s transition into retirement through the introduction of permanent equity.

Lab One Capital is built by self-made entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. We’ve spent our lives building and growing businesses—grappling with the sleepless nights, tough decisions, and transformative wins that only founders truly understand. From first-hand experience as founders, operators, and private equity investors, we know what it takes to scale enduring companies. Our approach isn’t grounded in distant oversight or theoretical models; it’s shaped by rolling up our sleeves, solving problems alongside leadership teams, and investing our personal capital earned through our own entrepreneurial successes. We’re here to be dedicated stewards, respecting the legacies of the businesses we acquire, while nurturing their next stages of growth.

Having bought, sold, and even fundraised for years in traditional private equity, we realized that too often the focus drifts toward short-term returns and quick exits. We wanted something different—an approach that empowers entrepreneurs, encourages patient growth, and fosters lasting value. By embracing a permanent hold philosophy, we free ourselves from arbitrary timelines and transaction-driven pressures. Instead, we invest with the mindset of permanent owners, dedicating our energy, expertise, and capital to help businesses grow at a pace that honors their histories while building for the future. It’s about being more than investors; it’s about rolling up our sleeves as builders, partners, and champions of enduring enterprises.

Enter Lab One Capital. A network of entrepreneurial operators, fueled by permanent capital, and an obsession for building. We never sell to the highest bidder, we champion the next generation of leaders, and we love what we do.
