Forty Fold Capital is a principal-led private equity firm focused on the control acquisition and operational improvement of essential service businesses in the Southeastern United States.

The firm was founded on a straightforward premise: small, well-run service businesses are among the most durable assets in the American economy. They are cash-generative, locally essential, and largely overlooked by institutional capital. That gap is the opportunity.

Every investment is made through a dedicated special purpose vehicle — one deal, one entity, one focused mandate. Partners are co-owners in a specific operating company, not participants in a blind pool. Capital is deployed conservatively, with a minimum 1.25x debt service coverage ratio and a 75/25 debt-to-equity structure. There are no turnarounds, no speculative bets, and no minority positions.

After acquisition, the firm applies a structured 100-day operational program — the Forty Fold Operating System — focused on financial clarity, pricing discipline, cost structure, and systems implementation. The goal is not financial engineering. It is building businesses that run better than they did before we owned them.

The firm is AI-native by design. Proprietary deal screening, diligence, portfolio monitoring, and communications infrastructure run on systems built in-house. This compresses the cost of operating at institutional quality without institutional overhead.

Kency Mocombe II is the firm's founder and sole principal. He leads every acquisition, every LP relationship, and every operational engagement directly. There is no committee between the decision and the decision-maker.

The mission is simple: multiply the promises given to every stakeholder — operators, partners, and the communities these businesses serve.

Forty Fold Capital targets investments in essential service businesses with $1–10M in revenue and $300K–$1M in EBITDA. Investments are available to accredited investors only. Nothing on this page constitutes an offer or solicitation
