Pinecrest Capital Partners

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our 10 year anniversary as a firm! Over the last decade we have completed more than 80 transactions across a diverse range of industries, representing over $2 billion dollars in transaction value. As we reflect on our 10-year history, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients and partners in the business community for their trust and support over the years. Your confidence in us has been the cornerstone of our success and we are honored to call you friends and confidants. We would also like to express our deep appreciation to our five founding members: Barrett Kingsriter, Bobby Renkes, CFA, Scott Renkes, Wes Romanowski, and Geoffrey Dunham. 2024 is shaping up to be our best year yet, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunities and successful transactions ahead as we continue to serve business owners in the middle market for many years to come! https://lnkd.in/ePiycGn2

Our former client, Fuego Tortilla Grill, was featured in this article on Restaurant M&A from The Middle Market. Was a fun deal and we were honored to help the Fuego team achieve their goals! Excited to see the success that Crux Capital Ltd has with this one. https://lnkd.in/gGURFagY

Another one closed for The 20 MSP. We have now successfully closed on 35 deals in 23 months as the buyside advisor since The 20 MSP set off on their M&A journey. Excited to continue helping them along this journey!

Our very own Bobby Renkes, CFA contributed to the below article about M&A in Texas and why Texas specifically is so well positioned to continue to be a hotbed for M&A activity in the coming years. The first half of 2024 has proven to be a very strong year with lots of activity, and we are excited about what the second half of the year will bring. "Bobby Renkes, CFA, managing director and founder of Pinecrest Capital Partners, a Dallas-based investment bank focused primarily on Texas middle-market companies, says 2023 was “an average year” for his firm. “Most banks are not nearly as aggressive and they’re significantly less flexible, but private lenders are supporting the M&A volume,” he adds. Last year, Pinecrest advised Texas-based Fuego Tortilla Grill on its sale to Crux Capital Ltd." Give it a read!" https://lnkd.in/gkfMnkys
