West Menlo Capital's mission is to acquire, protect the legacy, and grow a great business. Unlike private equity or venture capital firms, we are entrepreneurs focused on buying a single company and growing it to its fullest potential for the long term.

We buy good businesses.

West Menlo Capital is a veteran-operated acquisition fund located in Menlo Park, California. We are industry-agnostic and fundamentals-focused. We evaluate each opportunity on a case-by-case basis and look for the following primary characteristics:

Profitability & Size

Recurring Revenue

Low Customer Concentration

$2M+ EBITDA or

$3M+ ARR for software companies

Ideally, greater than 65% of revenue is recurring

Largest customer accounts for less than 20% of revenue
