About 1427 Capital
1427 Capital is led by Zaid Alsikafi, a private equity executive with more than two decades of experience helping companies scale, strengthen operations, and build durable long‑term value. We offer a flexible, founder‑friendly alternative to traditional growth equity.
We focus on businesses that are profitable—or on a clear path to profitability—and experiencing meaningful growth but would benefit from the right partner to reach the next level. Our approach is designed to meet companies where they are and help them grow with intention, discipline, and long‑term alignment.
Our Philosophy
At 1427 Capital, we believe in:
Long-Term Partnership:
We’re not bound by fund cycles or exit pressures.
Flexible Capital:
We invest as minority or majority partners, tailoring our approach to each company’s needs.
Strategic Support:
We bring the experience of a private equity executive—without the bureaucracy—to help businesses scale intelligently.
Alignment with Founders:
We prioritize collaboration, transparency, and shared vision over control.
