Сatalyst capital
With over $800 million in assets currently under management, we invest in proven businesses across a range of industries, and our decades of experience enable us to leverage deep financial, strategic, and operational expertise to enable small, founder-owned companies to become well-built platform companies that are durable market leaders.
Through over 85 small buyout transactions, RFE has consistently guided our portfolio companies through multiple business cycles while driving value creation.
Scaling Growth
We equip our companies with the capabilities and resources to accelerate growth by leveraging the extensive operational expertise, financial acumen, and broad business network of the RFE team.
Alignment of Interests
We value owners’ and managements’ personal commitment to the long-term viability and success of their company and employees. RFE embraces this enthusiasm and believes that properly rewarding management and aligning incentives is essential to success.
Employee First
Companies today face core hiring and retention challenges; through our Employee First initiatives, RFE treats our portfolio company employees as one of our most valuable stakeholders. We believe that valued and well-incentivized employees propel our companies to new heights.
