• Adamantem Capital: Australian mid-market private equity investor partnering with founders and management teams of SMEs. Comparable in its Australian focus, SME mandate, and emphasis on operational partnership.
• Anchorage Capital Partners: Australian mid-market private equity firm that acquires and partners with SMEs and management teams. Highly comparable to Castalia's combination of investment, management support, and partnership-style ownership in the Australian market.
• Catalyst Capital: Australian mid-market PE firm working with SMEs and management teams on buyouts and growth. Similar mid-market, Australia-only, partnership-oriented mandate to Castalia.

Emerging players

• Livingbridge: UK mid-market investment firm that partners with founders and management teams of growth businesses. Comparable to Castalia's partnership-style, SME-focused, values-aligned approach, but operating in the UK market.
• Inflexion: UK mid-market private equity firm that partners with management teams and provides operational support. Comparable in its mid-market, partnership-driven model, though UK-focused and at a larger scale.

• BGH Capital: Australian private equity firm investing in mid-market to large companies. Comparable as an Australian operating-partner PE firm but with larger cheque sizes and a broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Estia Health: Australian listed aged care operator, one of the largest in the country. Comparable as Castalia's core sector focus, though it is an underlying operator rather than an advisory/investment firm.
