A different approach to private capital investment and value creation
for small and lower middle market services businesses.
Who We Are

Where We Invest
Dara Knot is committed to building a focused portfolio of small and lower middle-market business services, healthcare and consumer services companies. We invest in buyout and select minority equity transactions for companies with $1mm to $10mm in EBITDA, seeking capital and strategic partnership to accelerate growth and managed complex transitions.
How We Build
Dara Knot pairs a roll-your-sleeves up attitude with decades of industry-specific experience to help our investments and management partners thrive. Through the Dara Knot Value Creation Roadmap (dkVCR), we deliver critical functional support and a customized strategy for building scalable, niche leaders.
The Dara Knot Vision
Derived from the Gaelic word for oak grove and symbolizing the oak’s strong and resilient root system, the Dara Knot has come to represent wisdom, leadership, endurance, trust and interconnectedness.
Dara Knot Capital Partners was founded to bring these critical, but often missing principles to the process of investing in and building great small and lower middle-market services businesses. In addition to capital, we seek to bring an ethical, informed, engaged and enduring foundation of support to all our partners.
