Focus Strategies Merchant Investments

Focus Strategies Merchant Investments (FSMI) is an Austin, Texas based investment company that combines access to capital and significant financial and operational experience from both our investment professionals and the family offices we represent. Our evergreen structure allows us to partner with owners, senior management teams, or sponsors to create long-term success that is not influenced by artificial time horizons commonly associated with funds.

What Makes FSMI Different?

FLEXIBLE CAPITAL

We have the ability to structure our investments as mezzanine debt or minority equity, without the requirement to provide both capital types in each transaction. What this means for our partners: we want to provide the right capital, at the right time, to help maximize the company’s value.

BACKED BY FAMILY OFFICES

Each of our partner families have been in your shoes: growing successful operating businesses. They have experienced the challenges, capital constraints, and hindrances to growth that you may be experiencing as well. As such, they appreciate the need to provide growth capital that provides flexibility and the opportunity for you to grow your business.

TIME HORIZON

We want our partners to make long-term decisions, not short-term decisions that negatively impact their results in order to satisfy our need to deploy and return capital.

INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE

We incorporate our partner companies with our team, families, and other partners, who have centuries of combined investing experience, to make their business stronger.
