Basis Equity

We’re a boutique private equity and holding company based in Connecticut. We believe societies flourish when people find connection, community, and belonging—not at a mass scale, but within concentrated niches. In these close-knit environments, shared identities, values, and local affinities create micro-communities where real economic value is unlocked. To build, invest in, and acquire enduringly profitable businesses that empower belonging, cultivate community, and strengthen human connection. We raise and deploy capital to acquire controlling positions in durable lower middle-market companies and to develop high-potential startups making the tools, products, and experiences that form the basis of belonging and community—from neighborhood construction to purpose-led apparel brands. Once invested, we drive significant value creation as builders and operators.
