Satori Capital

What Satori Capital does

Satori Capital is a Texas-based multi-strategy private investment firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dallas, with a secondary office in Fort Worth. The firm operates three business lines: (1) a Private Equity business making majority and minority investments in companies with $5 million to $50 million of EBITDA that operate with a long-term perspective and embrace conscious capitalism principles; (2) Satori Alpha, an alternatives investment platform that creates and manages customized portfolios for sophisticated private investors, family offices, and institutions; and (3) Thematic Strategies, comprising Satori Power (long/short equity in power, energy, materials, and industrial systems), Satori Neuro (mental health and brain science investments), Satori XL (acceleration capital for emerging investment managers), and Satori Environmental (energy transition long/short equity).

The firm is co-led by Randy Eisenman and Sunny Vanderbeck as Co-Founders and Managing Partners. Its strategy is differentiated by a unique partnership structure and aligned investor base that enables investments to be held indefinitely, removing short-term exit pressure. Satori employs Juniper Square as its fund administration platform for managing complex investment structures and delivering real-time data to investors. Day-to-day operations, compliance, fund accounting, investor experience, and stakeholder communications are handled by a roughly 30-person team drawn from Madison Dearborn Partners, TPG-affiliated Tarrant Management, Oak Hill Advisors, Tesla/SolarCity, Varagon Capital, L.E.K. Consulting, and Big Four accounting firms.

Satori generates revenue through management fees and carried interest on its private equity funds, alternatives mandates, and thematic strategies — a recurring subscription-style revenue model in which revenue scales with assets under management and fund performance. Customer segments include leadership teams of private companies seeking patient capital, and limited partners spanning HNW individuals, family offices, and institutions. The firm has been recognized for five consecutive years on Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investors list (2021-2025) and eleven consecutive years on Pensions & Investments' Best Places to Work in Money Management (2015-2025).
