What BaseCamp Equity Partners buys
BaseCamp Equity Partners is a small firm run by its two founders, Adam Kimberly in Boulder, Colorado and Jeffrey Kimberly in Fairfield, Connecticut. It was launched with money from 24 private investors rather than a traditional institutional fund. It does buyouts and growth equity investments in companies with $3 million to $20 million of EBITDA and $10 million to $100 million of revenue, putting in $5 million to $50 million of equity at enterprise values of $15 million to $100 million.
Its target sectors are commercial and residential property services, infrastructure and industrial services, automotive services, niche manufacturing and tech-enabled business services. It likes recurring revenue, healthy margins and proven managers, but says a missing piece can be a chance to add value. It has two current investments: Superior Roofing, a Colorado commercial roofer bought in 2026 alongside other investors, and Faulkner Island, which owns and runs four Take 5 Oil Change centers in Connecticut.

Greymont’s take
How BaseCamp Equity Partners fits a seller
BaseCamp suits an owner planning a succession who wants the next generation of managers to stay in charge. In the Superior Roofing deal, the founder completed a succession plan he had started years earlier, while three existing executives kept running the company. BaseCamp invested as part of a group with Plexus Capital, MasGroup and an individual investor, and a bank provided the senior debt.
With two partners and two current companies, the firm can give each business close attention. Because it invested alongside partners rather than alone, an owner should ask who will control the board after closing, how the equity is split among the investors, and whether BaseCamp wants to add acquisitions in roofing, auto services or the other sectors it targets.

Yes. Automotive services is one of its target sectors, and its Faulkner Island holding company owns and operates four Take 5 Oil Change centers in Connecticut through a partnership with Take 5 parent Driven Brands.

In the Superior Roofing deal announced in April 2026, the founder completed his succession plan while executives Alex Hannum, Brian Ottman and Max Hannum stayed on to lead the company.
