The Ellacap Way
Value doesn’t just happen.
It’s built — with structure, systems, and a lot of sweat.
These six principles shape how we think, move, and create outcomes:
1. Structure is Strategy
2. Value Lives in Our Five-Part Financial Model™
3. We Operate a Sell-Buy Process, Not a Buy-Sell One
4. Beyond the Transaction™
5. Change is Managed, Not Survived
6. Value Creation is a Commitment, Not a Checkbox
Investments
We don’t shy away from complexity.
We invest where expertise and operational grit create an edge.
Sectors
- Energy
- Industrials
- Advisory
Situations
Cyclical markets. Asset-heavy operations. Founder-owned companies.
Opportunities that are too small, too complex, or simply outside the
traditional capital, independent sponsor, and search fund lanes.
Our Approach
- We invest with intention.
- We operate with accuracy.
- We partner with conviction — people-first, performance-driven.
- We believe in returns built on execution, not speculation.
And we’re backed by partners who share our discipline.
Advisory
Sometimes we buy. Sometimes we build.
Sometimes we support others doing both.

The Green Book
Our journal of how we think, build, and move.
It’s a working record of decisions made, systems refined, and lessons earned.
Some polished. Some still in progress.
Capital Partners
We don’t work with everyone. And we’re not for everyone.
We partner with capital that shares our discipline.
Long-term. Values-aligned. Outcome-focused.
Our Approach
We invest personally. Operate directly. Communicate clearly.
Ideal Capital Partners
- Principled
- Patient
- People-first.
Partners who know that spreadsheets don’t scale companies — people do.
