What Artinia Group buys
Artinia Group is a private investment firm led by two managing partners, with releases datelined San Diego and Boston. It backs family-owned and operator-led businesses in the supply chains of aerospace and defense, telecommunications, semiconductors and renewable energy. For acquisitions it wants $10 million or more of revenue, $2 million or more of EBITDA, gross margins of at least 30% and EBITDA margins of at least 10%. Deals run $10 million to $100 million with debt of 2 to 3 times EBITDA, and they can be full buyouts, majority or minority recaps, or carve-outs.
It also makes growth equity investments of $5 million to $40 million in companies with $3 million or more of revenue, aiming for at least 20% ownership. Artinia names no fund on its site. Both current holdings, Canvas in Huntsville and TMMG in Chesapeake, are defense engineering contractors, and both deals were done with Gemini Investors and True West Capital Partners, two licensed SBICs.

Greymont’s take
How Artinia Group fits a seller
Artinia suits the owner of a defense or aerospace supplier, especially a government contractor that needs to keep its small business status. In both the Canvas and TMMG deals it partnered with two SBICs and said the investment would not change the company's size status, which matters for contracts reserved for small firms. Both CEOs stayed in place.
The two partners bring backgrounds as a McKinsey partner and as a CEO and CFO of portfolio companies, so expect close involvement in sales, systems and supply chain. Management is expected to reinvest in the deal. Because Artinia names no fund, ask how the equity for your deal is raised, who holds control among the investors, and how long they plan to stay invested.
Questions owners ask
What size company does Artinia Group look for?
For acquisitions, $10 million or more of revenue and $2 million or more of EBITDA, in deals of $10 million to $100 million. For growth equity, $3 million or more of revenue and an investment of $5 million to $40 million.
Does Artinia Group take minority stakes?
Yes. Its site lists majority and minority recaps, and its growth equity deals aim for 20% or more ownership. It also does full acquisitions and carve-outs of business units.
Can a small government contractor keep its size status after Artinia invests?
In its Canvas and TMMG releases, Artinia said the investment, made alongside SBICs Gemini and True West, would not affect the company's small business size status. An owner should confirm this with counsel for their own contracts.
What does Artinia Group own today?
Its portfolio page lists two companies: Canvas, a Huntsville test and engineering contractor it backed in early 2024, and TMMG, a Chesapeake, Virginia marine and systems engineering contractor it backed in late 2025.
