What Clear Peak Capital buys
Clear Peak Capital is a private equity firm that Donza Worden and Luke Schneider started in 2024 to invest only in software and IT services. It looks at three kinds of company: software implementation and custom application development firms with $2 million to $5 million of EBITDA, managed service providers with $500,000 to $5 million of EBITDA, and B2B software built for a single industry with $1 million to $5 million of EBITDA. For MSPs it wants at least two service lines, such as help desk, device management, cloud or security, and clients that pay more than $2,000 a month on average.
The firm says it keeps debt low and works side by side with management after closing. So far it has made two platform investments, ITsynch in December 2024 and Ntara in March 2025. On Ntara, Aldine Capital put in a subordinated note and equity next to Clear Peak. The firm does not publish a fund size, so an owner should ask how each deal is paid for.

Greymont’s take
How Clear Peak Capital fits a seller
Clear Peak suits founders of IT consulting firms, MSPs and niche software companies who want a buyer that does nothing else. Both of its deals so far follow a pattern: a founder-owned company with a long history, leaders who already work there taking charge, and a firm that says it rolls up its sleeves on strategy. At Ntara, the two founders stepped back to advisory board seats while executives with 17 and 24 years at the company became CEO and COO. That makes Clear Peak a natural fit for an owner who has a strong second layer of management ready to step up.
Because the firm is young and does not disclose a committed fund, an owner should ask where the equity for a deal comes from and whether lenders or co-investors will sit alongside it. It is also worth asking how Clear Peak plans to grow the company, since it has not yet announced any add-on acquisitions.
Questions owners ask
What size MSP will Clear Peak Capital look at?
Its stated range for managed service providers is $500,000 to $5 million of EBITDA. It prefers MSPs with at least two service lines, such as help desk, device management, cloud or security, and clients paying more than $2,000 a month on average.
Does the founder have to stay after selling to Clear Peak?
Not always. When Clear Peak backed Ntara in March 2025, the two founders moved to board-level advisory roles and two long-serving executives took over as CEO and COO. At ITsynch, the existing CEO and COO stayed on to lead the company.
How long has Clear Peak Capital been investing?
The firm was founded in 2024 by Donza Worden and Luke Schneider, who first worked together in investment banking in 2012. Its first platform was ITsynch in December 2024 and its second was Ntara in March 2025.
