1212 Capital Partners exists for one reason: to own and operate companies in industries that are primary to human life. Food. Housing. The financial infrastructure that keeps commerce moving. The diagnostic intelligence that keeps businesses alive. Every company in our portfolio serves a need that does not disappear in a downturn, does not depend on trends, and does not require convincing anyone they want it.
The mission across all four companies is the same: build innovative products at the highest standard and make them accessible to every economic class.
