A family holding company
Ozark Family Capital puts permanent family capital into government contractors, unmanned systems, energy infrastructure, and secured private credit. There is no fund life behind us and no exit clock in front of us — which changes what we can pay attention to and how long we can wait.
Where we invest
We stay inside these because we have operated in them. If a business sits outside all four, we are probably the wrong call — and we will say so in the first conversation rather than the fourth.
Government contracting
Primes and subs with real past performance and a backlog we can underwrite. We are comfortable with SAM registration, CAGE and NAICS positioning, DFARS flow-downs, cleared facilities, and the working-capital gap between delivery and the day DFAS actually pays.
Drones, aerospace & defense
Airframes, autonomy, payloads, ground control, and the component makers nobody sees. We favor NDAA-compliant hardware, domestic sourcing, and teams carrying a prototype out of SBIR and into a program of record.
Energy infrastructure
Battery energy storage, distributed generation, and the software and installers that turn thousands of homes into one dispatchable fleet. We know ERCOT, what ancillary services actually clear at, how long an interconnection queue really takes, and what a 4CP summer does to a commercial bill.
Lending & private credit
Short-duration lending where a bank is slow, structural, or simply absent. Bridge loans, asset-backed facilities, and receivable financing against government contracts — underwritten on collateral and cash conversion, closed in weeks rather than quarters.
Contact
Founders, owners thinking about succession, and intermediaries are all welcome. Tell us what the business does, what it earns, and what you are trying to solve. If it is not for us you will hear that quickly, with the reason.
