Hyperion Capital Partners is a private investment firm that establishes and utilizes partnerships with management to produce substantial long-term value.

OUR APPROACH

Hyperion partners with management teams to invest in companies reaching an inflection point—a period during which we can provide capital and strategic guidance to accelerate profitability and growth. We invest with a conservative capital structure and are not reliant on excessive leverage to generate superior returns for our investors. Further, we are flexible in our investment approach and will always explore creative, tailored methods through which we can partner with companies.

Our investment approach is thesis-driven: we work to build an investment thesis in each of our core industries, allowing for deeper focus and clearer identification of trends and attractive subsectors. We also partner with executives in our core industries to provide insight and experience. While we spend the majority of our time in these core industries, our Partners collectively have a wide breadth of industry experience, and we take pride in our ability to educate ourselves and get up to speed quickly; we are truly industry agnostic.

Hyperion’s transparent and constructive approach creates enduring value for our investors, management teams, employees, and stakeholders.
