WHO WE ARE
OptaHoldings is an operator-led investment firm, focused on helping small- to mid-sized companies scale with purpose.
We’ve walked in the shoes of owners and operators — from growing PE-backed firms to transforming family businesses. Our approach is hands-on, humble, and strategic. We bring capital and operational know-how to businesses ready for their next phase of growth, succession, or turnaround.
