Thesis

Back obsessed founders creating high-growth, cash-efficient ventures. Capacity invests in revenues instead of valuations—funding underestimated founders (women, minorities, veterans) in the Southeast with redeemable equity positioned between debt and traditional equity. Targets companies with $20K+/month revenue and a clear path to break-even in 12-18 months.

Likely not a fit for

No long-cycle R&D, winner-take-all strategies pre-profitability, or product-focused (vs. problem-focused) ventures. Not interested in businesses that need massive capital injections before reaching profitability.
