We’re Not Your Traditional Private Investment Firm
Our Approach
“Private equity.” “Private Credit.” “Investment firm.” These words can feel cold and stuffy — and maybe a little intimidating. Genesis Park is different.
We take a partner-first approach to everything we do. Sometimes that means going beyond providing capital to roll up our sleeves and work alongside management teams, providing our experience, time and guidance to help them achieve or exceed their goals. Other times, we may serve as a sounding board for management teams, a referral source for commercial relationships and human talent or share best practices and insights developed over 25+ years of investing in private companies. The way we partner with businesses is unique to each situation.
We strive to engage at the right time and at the right level in ways that build trust and credibility with our portfolio companies. This approach has worked since our founding as evidenced by the success of our portfolio companies, our relationship with entrepreneurs and the compelling returns delivered to our investors.
“Partnering with Genesis Park has been a game-changer for our independent equipment rental company. Their financing solutions and strategic input have enabled us to significantly expand our rental equipment fleet and accelerate growth. The Genesis Park team has supported us in countless ways, beyond providing capital, which has been invaluable.“

Our History
Founded in 1999, Genesis Park uses operational expertise, discipline and patience to build value for portfolio companies and investors, regardless of prevailing market conditions. With more than 100 years of combined experience, our Houston-based team has developed deep expertise and a solid reputation as a responsive, strategic partner.
We understand the hopes and dreams, as well as the challenges, company leaders face. That’s because we’ve been in their shoes, having served as C-suite leaders, consultants and operational experts ourselves.
We’ve built Genesis Park on a foundation of relationships. Our hope is to provide more than capital to companies by offering our expertise, connections and creative thinking to become a trusted partner.
While we invest across diverse industries, our team is opportunistic within market sectors where we have in-depth experience including business services, industrial services, residential services, information technology, manufacturing, and value-added distribution.

Our Values
At Genesis Park, our professional policy is simple and stems from our personal values: we leave things better than we found them.
What does that look like? Better cultures that respect and reward human capital and peak performance. Better efficiency to make more revenue dollars available for purposeful allocation: to internal growth opportunities, to people or to shareholders. Better environments for safety, productivity and emission profiles. Better communication with all stakeholders with as much candor and transparency as possible, because honesty is the most basic form of respect.
We promise to always be there for our partners when, where and how they need us. Sometimes that means applying creative technologies or business models to help our partners face challenges. We don’t mind getting our hands dirty and would much rather climb into problems than avoid them. Other times it means staying out of the way and letting our partners do what they do best.
At the end of the day, our partners are what we value most. We show that by putting relationships first, always being available and down-to-earth and putting our expertise to work in ways that provide deep and lasting benefits.
