Our Investment Approach

At Inferno Capital Group, our founder-first philosophy sets us apart. As former entrepreneurs, we deeply understand the challenges founders face and offer both financial and operational support to help businesses thrive. We invest in startups with passionate founders, strong unit economics, proven revenue generation, and long-term growth potential.

Founder First Philosophy

What sets Inferno Capital Group apart is our commitment to a founder-first philosophy. We have walked the path that founders tread today—we understand the challenges they face and the opportunities they can seize. Unlike traditional private equity firms that may focus primarily on financial returns, we see ourselves as partners in the business-building process.

Our founders—who themselves have built and scaled companies—believe that success is achieved by working hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs, providing them with both the financial and operational support they need to thrive. We don’t just invest in businesses; we become an integral part of the journey, offering insights that stem from our own experiences as former operators.

Permian Basin Sand Plant (Energy)

Our deep expertise in the oil & gas sector allows us to spot opportunities that others might overlook. We invest in companies that operate at various points in the energy supply chain, from resource extraction to logistics and equipment suppliers.

Our investments in frac sand operations, have enabled companies to streamline their hydraulic fracturing processes and increase profitability.

One of our most successful investments in the energy sector has been in frac sand operations in the Permian Basin, located in West Texas. This investment involved acquiring and optimizing sand plants that provide essential resources for hydraulic fracturing operations. Through strategic planning and operational enhancements, these plants now deliver between 2,000 and 2,500 truckloads of frac sand per month, generating substantial profits. We have also expanded into gravel mining outside of Dallas to diversify our offerings.
