DCA Partners provides expansion capital to growth-oriented, middle-market businesses in underserved communities across the western United States, with a particular focus on the Central Valley of California and adjacent markets including Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon. The firm deploys capital across a range of strategically selected industries — including manufacturing and distribution, food and agribusiness, business and commercial services, and specialty healthcare — for purposes such as buyouts, growth capital, acquisition capital, balance sheet strengthening, and shareholder buyouts. DCA targets companies with revenues of $10M–$150M that have compelling growth prospects but limited access to institutional capital. The firm invests in 100% proprietary deals sourced through its network of referral sources, and takes Preferred Stock or Subordinated Debt positions. Beyond capital, DCA provides strategic and operational expertise drawn from its partners' backgrounds as operators, investors, and entrepreneurs, treating each engagement as though the company were their own.
Notable quotes
“We just closed on our first investment in Fund III, with several additional opportunities already under review. We take pride in our ability to seek out great companies with strong management teams and help them to realize their business' full potential.”
“Both the quality and quantity of deal flow is very encouraging. We are seeing some really interesting companies with some very exciting growth prospect in front of them. I think the timing of this fund is going to be quite good.”
“Investors are struggling to find decent investment options right now. At this stage in the economic cycle, it's difficult to know where to invest. The real estate market has spiked and is currently filled with uncertainty; the stock market feels frothy to most people right now; and cash deposits are earning paltry interest.”
