Caprae Capital is based at 611 N Brand Blvd in Glendale, California. We work with clients across the US and Europe and have served clients in 8 countries.
Caprae Capital was founded by Kevin Hong and Zackary Beckham. Kevin is a serial tech entrepreneur who scaled two startups to $31M and $7M ARR and holds an MBA from Chicago Booth.

Caprae is led by operators who have bought, built, and scaled companies themselves. We cover everything from sourcing to post-close growth, work under your brand, and cost 30-60% less than traditional providers.
Proprietary deal flow means deals you find by contacting owners directly, not through brokers or auctions. You face less competition, can build a relationship with the owner, and often get better terms.
Broker-listed deals are marketed to many buyers at once, which drives up competition and price. Off-market deals come from reaching owners who haven't listed their business, so you're often the only buyer in the conversation.
A buy box is your acquisition criteria: industry, revenue or EBITDA range, location, and the type of owner or business you want. We use your buy box to build every target list and outreach campaign.
