TCP acquires undifferentiated lower-middle-market operating companies whose profitable growth can be ignited via the infusion of pre-identified technology.

Technology Is Capital

What We Do:

Under certain circumstances, Technology Capital Partners (“TCP”) views technology itself as a form of capital. “Technology Capital;” hence, our name.

TCP drives rapid cash flow growth in our acquired operating companies by first locating the immediately deployable and disruptive technology that delivers a unique competitive advantage to each acquisition’s product or service, enabling premium pricing and market share expansion.

We collaborate with market-ready and immediately deployable technologies to acquire an operating company that serves as the “launch-pad” through which we jointly capitalize on technological innovation.

We are NOT venture capital investors but our strategy starts with the identification of technology.

For additional details about our strategy, please see our Summary Document here.

Sourcing Technology Capital

Technology itself is a form of capital that can be invested in the pursuit of acquisitions.

Our technology screen, in order of importance:

  • Immediately-deployable and market-ready: Does not require additional time, money, regulatory/agency approval, or testing for market validation to be immediately commercially accepted

  • Underutilized, languishing, dormant, or even abandoned

  • Attractive acquisition landscape and Resident Industry/Domain Expertise

  • Disruptive: Creating an unfair advantage for a product or service

  • Protected intellectual property

  • Simple ownership structure

  • Motivated ownership

Strategy: Technology-Driven Growth Acquisitions

A technology-driven growth acquisition entails the merger and integration of two entities:

i)                   A lower-middle market operating company whose product or service is undifferentiated and

ii)                  A disruptive, immediately deployable but underutilized/languishing/dormant technology.

On that basis, TCP is sponsoring $5-60 million first-round equity investments. We are NOT venture investors, but our acquisition process starts with the identification of the subject technology.

What do we look for?

From our referral partners, Technology Capital Partners seeks disruptive & turnkey technologies to drive acquisitions of undifferentiated companies.

We are technology and industry agnostic.

Commercialize faster with less risk

We capitalize upon technological innovation faster by acquiring corporate infrastructure rather than building it from scratch. We accelerate the commercialization process by acquiring a “launchpad” through which we can control and accelerate the commercialization of the technology and, if they so choose, the technologist participates in rapidly growing a business.

We reduce investment risk because we can evaluate and acquire existing businesses (which already possess contracts, customers, suppliers, quality of earnings, sales, management, teams, etc.) as opposed to something that entrepreneurs claim they will build from scratch.
