Calera Capital

Calera was founded in 1991 to help a family that had built one of the world's most successful private companies invest in other founder-led companies. From the outset, Calera realized that partner companies are looking for a lot more than capital. They are looking for a partner who shares their vision for the future, appreciates their company’s culture, and has the resources and expertise to build a legacy of enduring value. We call this “transformational growth.” Thirty-four years, seven funds, and over seventy companies later, it’s still what we do—one portfolio company at a time. We focus on three sectors where we have extensive experience. This helps us provide high-value, hands-on expertise to our partner companies.
