Permanent capital for great businesses.
IronByte Industries is a Texas-based private investment company that acquires and operates consumer and industrial businesses with $1–5 million of EBITDA. We invest our founders’ capital for the long term and keep the team and brand in place.
Our approach
We aim to own businesses the way their founders would.
We keep what was built
The name, the customers and the people stay. We add capital, discipline and a long-term owner.
No sale deadline
We invest our founders’ capital rather than a fund with an exit date, so we make decisions for the next twenty years, not the next five.
Straightforward dealings
Owners and advisors work directly with the partners who make the decisions. Our agreements are short and written in plain English.
Discretion
Conversations with owners, brokers and advisors stay confidential.
