Sunset Coast · Practice IV
Private Equity
We acquire and grow small and mid-market businesses in defense, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and enterprise software.
The Practice
Patient capital for mission-critical companies.
Sunset Coast invests where it advises. We bring operating experience, government contracting expertise, and patient capital to companies whose work the mission depends on, with succession structures that respect what the founder built.
What We Do
Control acquisitions
Companies with $2–20M in revenue whose owners want a successor, not a stripping-out.
Operating partnership
We run what we buy with discipline: capture, compliance, and the workforce treated as the asset it is.
Government market fluency
Set-asides, recertification, facility clearances, and contract novation handled by people who have lived them.
Long holds
No forced exit clock. We build companies meant to outlast the fund cycle.
Who We Serve
Owners seeking succession
Founders who care what happens to the company, the contracts, and the people after the wire clears.
Operators and leaders
Executives who want to run and grow a mission-critical business with aligned capital behind them.
How It Begins
A straight conversation
What you want, what the business is, and whether we are the right owner for it. Honest answers early.
A clear proposal
Valuation, structure, and transition spelled out in plain language, with no retrading.
A respectful transition
Your people, your customers, and your name handled the way you would handle them.
