Where we invest
Sectors we operate in.
We focus where capital is underweight and operational complexity creates value that passive investors can't capture.
Property Management
Single-family and small-multifamily property management companies.
Payroll & Payments
Fintech infra, recurring cash flows, B2B embedded finance.
Manufacturing
Legacy businesses with operational upside.
Lending & Financing
Credit structuring, distressed debt, and short-term working capital solutions.
Decarbonization
Financing and scaling solutions for a low-carbon future.
Our operating model
We bring more than capital.
When we buy a business, we stay involved — adding the resources to grow it while the people, brand, and reputation that made it work stay in place.
Go-to-market & sales
Operating support
Your name stays yours
The de Anda model
We back owner-operated businesses and grow them — under their own brand, with de Anda behind them.
Leadership
The people behind de Anda.
Founder & Managing Partner
Michael founded de Anda Capital, a San Francisco family office, to take a hands-on role in the businesses it backs — creating value by working closely with the owners and teams it partners with. His career spans acquiring, financing, and building companies across multiple sectors, and shapes the firm's owner-first, relationship-driven approach.
Venture Partner
Henry leads value creation across de Anda's businesses — focused on the product, growth, and go-to-market work that turns a strong company into a faster-growing one. He partners closely with the teams de Anda backs, bringing the sales and operating muscle that compounds after a deal closes.
Who we work with
Three paths in. One standard.
Whether you're selling, scaling, or investing alongside us, the relationship stays direct and the alignment is real.
Business Owners
Exit on your terms — not a broker's timeline.
You've built something real. We acquire owner-operated businesses directly — no intermediaries, no commission, no six-month broker process — and we structure deals that respect what you've built.
You retain your name, brand, and reputation
A partnership through the transition — not a handoff
We grow the business after close — capital, GTM, and sales
Earnout and equity rollover; an operator-friendly close
Operators
Capital and conviction behind your growth thesis.
You run a business and want to grow through acquisition but lack the capital structure or deal experience to execute. We partner with operators who know their market — adding capital, M&A infrastructure, and network access.
Add-on acquisition sourcing and execution
Structured growth capital — not dilutive equity
Operational and management support post-close
Access to our 140+ deal network
Investors
Deal-level co-investment with a proven operator.
We structure co-investment deal by deal — no blind pool, no committed fund. Review each opportunity individually and benefit from our operational involvement throughout the hold period.
15× target return over 5–7 years
Search fund structure — aligned incentives
Active, not passive, management post-close
Lower-middle-market deal flow access
