What Right Angle Partners buys

Right Angle Partners is a New York investment firm led by its two co-founders, Mohammad Imran and Isaac Apea. It backs founder-led and family-owned companies in three areas: software and tech-enabled services, outsourced business services, and industrial services that keep buildings, facilities and infrastructure running safely. Its stated target is a profitable, growing company with up to $100 million of annual revenue, a strong position in a niche, repeat or recurring revenue, and clear room to expand.

The firm does not name a committed fund. Its first deal, in December 2025, was the first outside investment in Fire Protection Team, a Connecticut fire and life safety contractor, and it was funded together with Align Collaborate, a co-investor that backs sponsors who raise equity one deal at a time. Fire Protection Team then bought Brake Fire Protection in September 2026. Right Angle does not publish a minimum size, so a smaller fire protection business in the Northeast is most likely to meet the firm as an add-on to Fire Protection Team.

Greymont’s take

How Right Angle Partners fits a seller

Right Angle Partners suits a family owner who wants outside capital and a succession plan without selling to a large consolidator. Its first platform was built on that idea: Fire Protection Team's owner had turned away bigger buyers, kept running the company after the investment, and now pitches it as a home for other family-owned fire and life safety firms. In the Brake deal, the selling owner stayed on to handle customers day to day.

The firm is young, with one platform so far, and it appears to raise equity deal by deal with partners such as Align Collaborate. An owner should ask who will provide the equity and debt for their deal and how firm that money is, and whether Right Angle or a co-investor will hold control and decide when the company is sold again.

Questions owners ask

What size company does Right Angle Partners look for?

Its criteria call for a profitable company with a record of growth and up to $100 million of annual revenue. It does not publish a minimum revenue or EBITDA figure.

Does Right Angle Partners buy fire protection companies?

Yes, through Fire Protection Team, its Connecticut platform, which is looking for fire and life safety companies in the Northeast and nearby regions. It bought Brake Fire Protection of Trumbull, Connecticut in September 2026.

Does the owner stay involved after Right Angle invests?

In both announced deals, yes. Fire Protection Team's second-generation owner kept leading the company after the December 2025 investment, and Jim Brake stayed on to oversee customers and operations after selling Brake Fire Protection.
