Gauge Capital is a middle-market private equity firm founded in 2013 and based in Texas, managing approximately $3 billion in assets as of December 2025. The firm invests in majority and minority positions across Business Services and Technology, Food and Consumer, Government, Industrial, Transportation and Logistics, and Healthcare sectors, targeting businesses positioned as leaders within their respective markets.
The firm's value creation approach centres on operational transformation, organic growth acceleration, and strategic acquisitions executed alongside management teams. Gauge Capital structures customized value creation agendas built collaboratively with portfolio company leadership, emphasising long-term, sustainable outcomes rather than near-term financial engineering. A repeatable investment thesis guides deployment across its sectors of focus.
Capital alignment is material to Gauge Capital's positioning: the firm invests significantly in its own funds and shares both downside risk and upside potential with management and co-investors. Significant owner and founder rollovers into its portfolio companies signal commitment to continuity and management retention. This structural alignment is designed to create consistency of incentives across the investor base throughout the holding period and exit process.
