Patient growth capital for established, founder-led businesses in the physical economy.
VeraDaniel & Company makes minority growth investments in established, privately held businesses that build, install, maintain, and manufacture. We focus on companies whose end markets are durable, whose operations can be strengthened through technology and process, and whose owners want a long-term partner rather than a change of control.
We invest alongside a select group of family offices and qualified private investors on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
Operating history and EBITDA of approximately $1 million or more, with visible contracted backlog or recurring revenue.
Specialty trade contractors, field services, infrastructure, fabrication, machining, and light industrial manufacturing.
A committed owner-operator supported by an experienced executive team.
No single customer or funding source dominating revenue.
Proceeds used to expand capacity, enter new markets, or strengthen the business, not to fund ownership liquidity.
Owners retain control of their business. We take board representation and customary governance and information rights.
Typical investments of $3 to $6 million, deployed over time against agreed operating milestones.
Preferred equity and other structures designed around the company's cash flows and growth plan.
Hands-on help with financial reporting, back-office systems, software standardization, and readiness for audits, financing, and larger contracts.
An initial conversation with ownership to understand the business and its goals.
Review of financial statements, contracts, and operations.
A non-binding letter of intent outlining structure and governance.
Financial, legal, and operational diligence with independent advisors.
Closing, followed by a jointly agreed value-creation plan.
Pre-revenue companies, businesses dependent on a single customer, and control buyouts.
