Equity Capital Providers

160 lower middle market investors. Hand-curated.

186 real contacts across PE, debt, mezzanine, SBICs, family offices, and a handful of veteran-network firms. Built by a veteran who actually raised capital, not a scraped list.

A note on what this is.

Compiled by Jary Jackson, Managing Partner at Thurion Capital, while running an independent-sponsor raise in federal services. Every firm here is real and was active in the LMM space as of May 2026. Inclusion is not a recommendation, and check sizes / capacity change, verify directly.

When you reach out: lead with a tight one-paragraph thesis and ask about current capacity and check-size band. Do not send a deck cold.
