Kinetic Capital

Kinetic Capital Partners sources, structures and manages private equity and late-stage venture investments held through a number of limited partnerships. These partnerships typically hold a high, controlling share of as-converted equity in the companies they back, which the firm says have strong management, high margins and significant room to scale. The firm generally keeps each individual investment to a modest share of its committed capital and has not needed to draw heavily on that capital across its core holdings. It is currently focused on growing its existing investee companies rather than adding new ones. Its principal backer is a private investment and holding company that once held stakes in Finning Tractor and Whistler Mountain, and its investment team and advisory board also commit personal capital alongside outside co-investors.
