What Del Monte Capital buys
Del Monte Capital is a Houston private equity firm formed in late 2023 by partners who had already worked together in private equity for about seven years. It calls itself a generalist with a special interest in infrastructure, meaning companies that build, supply or service the systems a city needs to function. Its listed areas are infrastructure, building products, industrial, specialty construction, life safety and security, value-added distribution, essential business services and niche manufacturing. It stays away from venture deals, oil and gas, and real estate.
Its 2026 fact sheet targets $15 million to $100 million of revenue, $5 million to $20 million of EBITDA and at least three years of operating history, with a focus on the Southeast and Texas. It takes 51% or more, through owner succession, growth capital, recapitalizations and management buyouts. Most of its equity comes from local families, and it adds modest bank debt from relationship lenders. Its first platform, Integrity Elevator Solutions, has already made an add-on acquisition, so a smaller company can also meet the firm as an add-on.

Greymont’s take
How Del Monte Capital fits a seller
Del Monte suits a Texas or Southeast owner of an infrastructure or specialty contracting business, such as utility work, excavation, water and sewer repair or elevator service, who wants to sell a majority while keeping key managers invested. In each announced deal the company president received a meaningful ownership stake and kept running daily operations, while retiring founders could step back; at Cornerstone the founder also kept a stake and a consulting role.
The firm is small and new, with three partners and four companies, so owners deal directly with the people who decide, and it describes its use of bank debt as conservative. Owners should ask how much equity the firm's family investors commit at closing, how much debt the company will carry afterward, and how long Del Monte expects to own the business.
Questions owners ask
What size company does Del Monte Capital look for?
Its 2026 fact sheet lists $15 million to $100 million of revenue, $5 million to $20 million of EBITDA and at least three years in business, and it takes a controlling stake of 51% or more.
Where does Del Monte Capital invest?
Its target geography is the Southeast and Texas. Its four current companies are based in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, plus Integrity Elevator Solutions, which works across Texas and Louisiana.
Can managers or the founder keep a stake after Del Monte invests?
Yes. In the Cornerstone deal in January 2025 and the DLG deal in March 2026, the company president received a significant ownership stake and stayed on to lead operations, and Cornerstone's founder kept a stake too.
Where does Del Monte Capital's money come from?
Its fact sheet says its capital comes mainly from local families with ties to the communities it serves, and that deals use traditional bank loans from relationship lenders, sized conservatively.
