What We Believe

At Met, we believe exceptional growth happens when entrepreneurs retain ownership and control of their destiny.

Our model preserves founder decision-making power, majority equity, and strategic vision, while unlocking the capital and operational expertise needed to scale.

What We Look For

The founders and companies we partner with:

Owner-operators with conviction and skin in the game

Companies with strong recurring or repeating revenues and low churn

Non-sponsored businesses with market traction and a proven track record

Product or service provider with a real edge and differentiation

Strong management team who value ownership and minimal dilution

You Don't Have to Choose Between Growth and Ownership

What We Offer:

Growth capital that's minimally dilutive, non-controlling, and tailored to your stage
“Most founders don’t realize how much they’re giving up by selling too early. What I’ve seen at Metropolitan is a team that doesn’t push a product; they reframe the path. They show owners they can grow, stay in control, and build real wealth without handing over the keys. That kind of guidance isn’t just smart capital, it’s what most founders never knew was possible.”
James Calver
Partner, CEO & Board Director
Speed & certainty: reliable partner who acts fast, sticks to timelines, and delivers on commitments
"It's very important to have alignment with a capital provider, particularly when you're at an inflection point. Banks can't do it. You don't want a sharp-elbowed lender. You want a team like Met—smart, flexible, and value-add. Metropolitan understands that one size does not fit all, tailoring the investment to the needs of the business. We know this takes a lot more effort by Metropolitan than most would think. They are very differentiated."
Liam Lynch
CEO of Darwin
Operational leverage and strategic support through ONE: our network of sector-proven operators and ecosystem partners
"The capital from Metropolitan Partners Group enables us to grow with intention—not just faster, but better. Met brings not only capital but deep operational expertise, and their commitment to strategic alignment and values-based growth makes them a natural partner."
Earl Foote
Founder and CEO of Nexus IT
Structures that evolve with you, not models that force you to fit them
“We’re like an Accenture for the SMB, bringing enterprise-grade IT and cybersecurity to companies that have been underserved for too long. My job is to empower our team to deliver an IT experience clients love, and to make it easier for them to execute on that every day. Metropolitan gave us the capital and partnership to scale that mission, without asking us to compromise what makes it ours.”
Chuck Canton
Founder & CEO of Sourcepass
In-house asset management team who knows when to stand back and when to stand beside you
“Having a capital provider that can zig and zag with you is so important and that’s what you will find with Metropolitan.”
Taek-Geun Kwon
CEO of Zinnia Health
