Hyperion Capital Partners

What Hyperion Capital Partners does

Hyperion Capital Partners is a private equity firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The firm establishes partnerships with management teams to invest in North American companies at inflection points, deploying control equity investments, buyouts, recapitalizations, and strategic minority investments. Hyperion targets companies with $5 million to $50+ million of EBITDA and operates a thesis-driven investment approach concentrated in six core industries: Packaging, Business Services, Distribution, Aerospace and Defense, Injection Molding, and General Industrials. The firm explicitly states it is also "industry agnostic" beyond these verticals. The firm underwrites with a conservative capital structure that is not reliant on excessive leverage, and supplements its investment team with a bench of Executive Advisors — proven C-level executives and entrepreneurs — who sit on portfolio company boards.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-led: deal flow originates through direct industry networks, Executive Advisor relationships, founder and management referrals, and investment banking intermediaries. The current active portfolio comprises two platforms acquired in November 2022 — A Plus Tree, a multi-state commercial and residential tree care services provider headquartered in Vallejo, California, and Algus Packaging, a DeKalb, Illinois-based manufacturer of thermoformed blister and clamshell packaging. A Plus Tree executed a three-company buy-and-build in July 2023 (Tree Preservation and Landscaping, The Tree Men, and Treecology), expanding A Plus Tree's geographic footprint across California, Washington, Oregon, and Utah. An earlier April 2021 acquisition of Kabinart is also disclosed.

As a sponsor, Hyperion's revenue mechanics derive from management fees on committed capital and realized carried interest on exits; none of these figures are publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held (legal entity Hyperion Capital Partners LLC) with 1–10 employees and no public ticker or listing. No disclosed fund size, AUM, or revenue figures exist in the available data, which materially constrains any quantitative assessment of scale.
