We Backthe Builders.

Exit 156 Capital takes its name from Interstate 94’s Exit 156 in Collegeville, Minnesota, a place that has encouraged generations of young people to strike out in new and exciting directions. That exit is a visual representation of pivotal moments. The companies we back are living theirs.

We are entrepreneurs and operators who became investors. We have built companies, scaled past $120 million in revenue, and run organizations from $50 million to $7 billion. When we sit across from a management team, we have been in that room.

We seek non-controlling investments in companies scaling innovative business models in compelling markets. Our streamlined size and flat operating structure allow us to swiftly evaluate and finalize transactions. No committees, no delays. We specialize in small and middle-market businesses with defensible market positions in healthcare, agriculture, and technology. We align our financial interests with yours and prioritize growth at every stage.
