Focused Investing. Operational Discipline. Lasting Value.

At Baynes Capital, strategy isn’t just about where we deploy capital—it’s about how we grow what we invest in. We partner with operators who know their business inside and out, and we bring the capital, experience, and structure to help them scale.

What We Look For

We invest in middle-market companies with:

  • Strong revenue and growth potential

  • Proven leadership

  • Clear paths to expansion

  • Enterprise values between $5M–$40M

We value grit, transparency, and vision—and we look for management teams ready to turn potential into performance.

Our Investment Focus

1. Energy
We pursue investments across the energy value chain—primarily upstream and midstream oil & gas—where our team brings deep technical and operational experience.

2. Oil & Gas
We back projects and platforms with stable cash flow, resource upside, and strong management, often leveraging strategic partnerships and drilling expertise.

3. Equine Assets
Our cutting horse investments focus on breeding, training, and performance bloodlines with the potential for outsized returns and long-term asset appreciation.

How We Add Value

  • Strategic Capital
    More than money—we help drive vision and execution.

  • Operational Support
    We roll up our sleeves to optimize operations, reduce risk, and accelerate growth.

  • Network Access
    Founders gain access to a network of industry leaders, operators, and advisors who’ve been there.

  • Disciplined Exits
    We’re focused on maximizing value through timing, structure, and market insight—whether by recapitalization, strategic sale, or cash-flow harvesting.

Performance Mindset

We are long-term focused and performance-driven. Every investment is structured to generate strong risk-adjusted returns—not just for our investors, but for the teams we back.
