About JMH
JMH Capital Partners is an operationally-oriented private equity firm dedicated to nurturing companies with excellent growth potential, but lacking the resources to double or triple their size.
We invest in established businesses with $5 million to $100 million of revenue, a unique market position, and exceptional profit potential. JMH Capital typically partners with business owners and managers who are looking to transition their business or need capital to lead their company into its next chapter of growth.

JMH as the Ideal Capital Partner
We have a long track record of working successfully with businesses to accelerate their growth. Typically we seek companies that have a market-leading product or service but are otherwise constrained from growing more rapidly or realizing better profitability.
The collaborative, “roll up our sleeves” nature of our relationships with management allows us to address a broad range of strategic, financial, and operational issues over the lifecycle of each investment. We generally invest in fewer portfolio companies and dedicate more of our personal time to each. We use the experience we’ve gained as operators growing similar businesses, to help drive highly profitable growth, improve operating performance, and acquire complementary operations during our investment period.
