Bochi has the flexibility to invest from $500,000 up to $20 million.

We will consider growth equity investments and acquisitions. Bochi is a combination of a family office (we invest our own capital) and an independent sponsor (we also form SPVs and bring outside investors into our investments).

We are actively looking for companies:

  • Lower middle market ($5-50 million of revenues)

  • Consumer, industrial, and business services sectors

  • Preference for Western US, including Texas
