About
DalFort is a Dallas-based investment firm focused on the lower middle market. We partner with founders and management teams to build industrial businesses for the long term.
Our capital is sourced primarily from family offices and high-net-worth individuals, many of them founders and executives within our own target industries. There are no artificial timelines and no forced exits. We preserve what you have built while providing the capital, the team, and the operating capability to grow it. That includes the culture, the people, and the relationships that define your business. We take seriously the responsibility that comes with being the next steward of it.
Our Focus
Fragmented industries with room to consolidate and grow.
