About us
Keystone was founded in 1994 with the objective of investing the personal capital of its partners in high quality, market-leading businesses; patiently building long-term value alongside management through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Today, Keystone manages over $1 billion in capital commitments across two funds - Keystone Capital Fund II, LP ("Fund II") and its most recent Keystone Capital Fund III, LP (“Fund III”), with Fund III representing $630 million of capital commitments. To maintain consistency with its historical investment strategy and align interest across all stakeholders, the principals of Keystone collectively represent the largest single investor in both Fund II and Fund III, with both Funds having been structured with an extended life to support investment period flexibility. Over the course of its history, Keystone has completed over 40 platform investments and more than 170 total acquisitions with a focus on professional & tech-enabled services, engineering & technical services, commercial & industrial services, food & beverage manufacturing, and engineered products.

The Keystone Krew got together over the weekend to volunteer at the Greater Chicago Food Depository! We repacked 8,200 pounds of apples that were then distributed to their local partner agencies to be given to families in need in the Chicago and Cook County area. Hunger is a pressing issue in our communities, and many families face challenges in accessing fresh produce and nutritious meals. Our time spent sorting and categorizing donated items made a tangible difference, as we helped prepare food for distribution into more manageable amounts to those in need. Every little bit count, and even a few hours with families, friends, and co-workers can create a ripple effect in the fight against hunger. It was inspiring to see how our efforts contribute to supporting families and fostering a sense of community where quality foods can reach others through food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters.
