RootPath Capital
When it’s time to step back, we help you step forward with confidence
A Different Kind of Capital Partner
RootPath Capital exists to carry forward the work founders have spent years — often decades — building. We’re not traditional private equity. We’re not here to flip a business or impose a rigid playbook.
We acquire and operate established service businesses in the Mid-Atlantic with loyal customer bases, recurring or repeatable revenue, and a history of steady performance. We partner with founders and family owners who care deeply about the legacy they leave behind.
Our goal is simple: preserve what makes a company great, and build on it — carefully, respectfully, and with a long-term view.
