Thesis Capital Partners Announces Launch of Thesis Partners II

Houston, TX - February 27, 2026 — Thesis Capital Partners today announced the launch of Thesis Partners II, a private equity fund targeting up to $150 million in commitments to invest in founder-owned U.S. lower middle market businesses.

This launch marks an important milestone in the continued evolution of the Thesis platform. Over the past several years, the firm has refined a repeatable operating model designed specifically for ownership transitions in the lower middle market.

Thesis Partners II will focus on control investments in companies generating $3 million to $15 million in EBITDA across business services, healthcare, software, and industrial sectors.

Thesis Capital invests through its T.H.O.R. framework:

Talent First. Hunt. Operationalize. Refine.

Central to the strategy is a structured bench of Executives-in-Residence and Searchers-in-Residence recruited and incubated prior to capital deployment. These leaders are aligned with Thesis before investment and step into operating roles within portfolio companies to ensure leadership continuity, institutional governance, and disciplined execution from Day One.

“A generational transition of ownership is underway across the lower middle market,” said Ian J.H. Reynolds, Founder and Managing Partner. “We built this platform for this environment. Thesis Partners II builds on years of work developing a leadership-driven, execution-focused approach to control investing.”

Thesis Capital emphasizes structured Investment Committee oversight, conservative capital structures, and operational discipline throughout the lifecycle of each investment.
