TriplePoint Equity is an independent sponsor based in South Florida actively pursuing lower middle market acquisitions in the $1M–$5M EBITDA range. We are currently evaluating multiple opportunities across Florida and are looking to partner with high-caliber operators to lead these businesses post-close. What we bring: Deal sourcing and execution Transaction structuring and capital raising (deal-by-deal) Investor & debt partner network Hands-on support in marketing, talent recruitment, and strategic growth Active board-level involvement What we’re looking for: Experienced operator (GM, President, COO, VP Ops, etc.) Strong P&L ownership experience Desire to step into a CEO role Willingness to invest personal capital alongside us Long-term mindset (5–10 year horizon) Ideally Florida-based or willing to relocate We are not running a traditional search fund. We invest deal-by-deal and partner closely with operators to build significant equity value together. This is a true equity partnership opportunity — not a hired CEO role. If you are: • A self-funded searcher seeking a capital partner • An operator ready to acquire and lead a business Please DM or comment and we’ll connect directly.

Mitchell – interesting opportunity. I spend most of my time supporting lower middle market deals in exactly this EBITDA band, particularly with financial diligence, QoE framing, and operator-aligned structuring. If you’re evaluating opportunities in Florida and need an extra set of eyes pre-LOI or during confirmatory work, happy to connect.
