Kohona Capital

Backing businesses built from the ground up.

Kohona Capital backs bootstrapped, cash flow positive businesses in consumer products and business services.

About

Patient capital for self-made companies.

Kohona Capital is an investment firm focused on businesses that have grown on their own terms. We look for companies that were bootstrapped by their founders, funded by customers rather than outside investors, and that already generate positive cash flow.

Their customers have already shown, by paying, that these products and services meet real needs. We believe these companies deserve a partner who builds on that foundation instead of changing what made them successful.

Investment Focus

Two sectors we know well.

We concentrate on two areas where bootstrapped, profitable companies are common.

Consumer Products

Brands that have earned loyal customers through quality, value, and steady repeat demand, without relying on outside capital to get there.

  • Established products with proven customer demand
  • Healthy margins and efficient operations
  • Room to grow through new channels and markets

Business Services

Service companies that solve practical problems for clients who come back to them year after year.

  • Recurring or repeat revenue from loyal clients
  • Services clients would struggle to do without
  • Room to add services or reach new clients

Approach

Disciplined growth, built in partnership.

We protect what already works, invest with care, and grow alongside the founders who built the business.

Disciplined growth

We favour steady growth the business can pay for over growth at any cost. Cash flow decides when and how much we invest.

Founder partnerships

Founders know their businesses best. We work alongside them as long-term partners and back their plans instead of replacing them with ours.

Building on strength

A bootstrapped company has already shown it can run on its own revenue. We add capital and advice to help it grow from there.
