Kinzie Capital Partners

Kinzie Capital Partners is a Chicago-based private equity firm investing in lower middle market companies in the manufactured products, business services, and consumer industries. Whether companies are navigating a generational shift, a fast-moving period of high growth, or complexity in an industry or business cycle, Kinzie seeks to create lasting positive outcomes by leveraging technology and a strong operational focus. Our name pays homage to one of the most iconic bridges in Chicago, the city in which we were founded. The Kinzie Street Bridge was built in 1909 and stands on the historic site of the first span across the Chicago River. It is the only single-leaf bascule bridge from the “first generation” design that remains in the city today. The view to the south features the Kinzie Street railroad bridge, a Chicago Landmark, raised high above the water and framing the constantly changing skyline. Our name reflects our founder’s vision for the firm – revolutionary, lasting, and bold. It is a reminder of the importance of tradition and stability in an ever-evolving world.
