The Firm
p. 1
We invest in and develop market-leading small to mid-sized Canadian businesses.
With over 75 years of combined operating and investing experience, we can provide a tailored succession approach for sellers who care deeply about their legacy. We are constructive, growth-minded partners who believe that lasting success is rooted in integrity, humility, hard work and perseverance.
We partner with owners that want to remain active as an executive or advisor and that want to stay invested in their business alongside us. Ideally, a capable management team has been developed to help take the business forward. We leverage our experience and network of relationships to guide strategic direction, leadership succession, growth investments and other critical areas.
Disposition

Four virtues we ask of one another — and of every partnership we enter.
Committed
We invest our own money with a flexible time horizon. Unlike traditional private equity, we have no pressure to sell — we can be, and prefer to be, true long-term partners.
Indefiniteholding period
Nimble
We are our own bosses, so we can move quickly. With the decision-makers at the table, we act decisively, without the layers of approval that slow institutional capital.

Founding Partner · Investor-Operator
Mike has nearly 30 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, and principal investing.

Simon has over 20 years of experience in professional services, management consulting, and executive roles. He has spent the past 15 years as a President and Chief Financial Officer in growth-oriented companies.

Est. 1974 · Multi-disciplinary engineering · Ontario
Moon-Matz Ltd.
Founded in 1974, Moon-Matz has grown into a leading regional multi-disciplinary engineering firm designing infrastructure projects for governments, government agencies and institutions. A key element of the company's success has been consistent investment in complementary disciplines — transportation, electrical, mechanical and structural engineering.
We were struck by the company's deep specialised capabilities and long-standing culture of exceptional customer service. Partnering with the leadership team — including several second-generation family members — we are excited to build on the company's considerable success.

“I built my business over 50 years and wanted to make sure that I put it into good hands when I retired. With their decades of experience, I was comfortable entrusting John, Mike and Simon to build my legacy. Selling my business was a hugely important decision in my life — and it was very helpful having an experienced investor like KingsPeak on the other side of the table.”

KW Countertop
Founded in 1997, KW Countertop grew into a leading regional countertop manufacturer, fabricator and installer. An exceptional team proudly delivered best-in-class customer experiences to homeowners and commercial customers across South-Western Ontario.
We were impressed by the company's integrated business model, excellent reputation and unique family-like culture. We were delighted to partner with Jim Young, the founder, and the executive team over five years to build on KW's established track record — and to facilitate a successful management buyout in 2026.
“We had significant interest in our business and chose KingsPeak as they had the decision makers at the table, brought a lot of financial and operational experience, and fit really well with our culture. It was clear we made the right choice as we got to know them through the investment process — and they delivered what they said they would.”
