What Rosser Capital Partners buys
Rosser Capital Partners is a Greenwich, Connecticut firm started in 2011 by Hal Rosser, now a senior advisor, and led today by managing partner Jacob Organek. It backs young restaurant, retail and consumer brands that have room to grow nationally. Its stated target is $2 million to $15 million of EBITDA and 5 to 30 locations. The firm says its principals have completed 28 transactions worth more than $2.5 billion over 25 years, nearly all of them in multi-unit businesses.
Rosser does not describe itself as a classic fund. It says much of its money is its own or comes from its operating partners, so it has no fixed holding period and will take either a minority or a majority stake. It prefers deals where the founder stays heavily involved. Current holdings include the small restaurant chains Kitchen Social and Tumble 22, plus RB Pro, a multi-market Re-Bath franchisee added in 2026. A smaller Re-Bath territory could also meet the firm through RB Pro, which plans to enter new markets by buying territories that come up for resale.

Greymont’s take
How Rosser Capital Partners fits a seller
Rosser suits the founder of a young multi-unit restaurant, retail or consumer brand who wants capital and experienced board help but plans to keep running the company. It says it concentrates on situations where founders want to stay heavily involved. In the Tumble 22 deal in 2022, the founders' restaurant group kept an ownership position.
Because much of its capital is the team's own or comes from operating partners, Rosser can be flexible on hold period and on how much it owns. The trade-off is scale. It publishes no fund size, and its site shows a new investment only every two years or so since 2012. An owner should ask how much capital is really available for expansion, and whether Rosser would hold a majority or a minority stake, since its RB Pro announcements do not say.
Questions owners ask
What size company does Rosser Capital Partners look for?
Its About page targets emerging brands with $2 million to $15 million of EBITDA and 5 to 30 locations in operation, with a goal of expanding nationally. It does not publish a check size or a revenue range.
Does Rosser only invest in restaurants?
No, though restaurants are its largest area: it counts 19 restaurant deals among its past transactions. It has also backed retailers such as PetPeople and 2nd Ave, and in March 2026 it announced RB Pro, a bathroom remodeling franchisee operating in four Midwest and Pennsylvania markets.
Does the founder stay involved after Rosser invests?
That is what the firm looks for. It says it concentrates on situations where founders want to remain heavily involved, because it sees them as central to a young brand's culture. In the Tumble 22 deal, the founders' restaurant group kept an ownership position.
Does Rosser invest from a traditional private equity fund?
It says a significant portion of its capital is internal or comes from its operating partner network, which it says frees it from a fixed time horizon. That gives it flexibility on hold period, deal size and minority or majority ownership. It does not publish a fund size.
