A Different Kind of
Private Equity Firm.

Future-Focused Investment & Acquisition

At Apricus Capital Partners, we’re not interested in the traditional buy-and-flip model of a closed private equity fund. Instead, our approach to investment and acquisition focuses on alignment, patience, partnerships, and customizability. As a private investment firm, we seek investments in privately-held and family businesses with a proven track record, strong values, and great culture. In our experience as active investors and entrepreneurs, we have come to believe that patience is key—we want to make sure our goals align with yours. We are hungry for growth opportunities with like minded business-owners looking to unlock the value they’ve spent their careers building. Above all, we want our future partners to know that our deals are flexible and customizable. We bring a wide array of strengths, relationships, and deal-structures to the table. Whether we’re going to be actively involved in the day-to-day, or passive strategic advisors, Apricus is able to tailor the deal to meet the needs of the business owner or seller.
