James Kay Joins Crux Capital as Principal

October 17, 2022

Crux Capital, a Dallas-based private equity firm, announced the expansion of its team today with the addition of James Kay as Principal.

James has spent his career investing in lower middle market companies. During that time, James has partnered with family-owned businesses and management teams, grown companies through industry consolidation, and led organic expansion initiatives. He completed numerous acquisitions, refinancings, and sale processes in a variety of industries.

Prior to this role, James spent more than 4 years at Insight Equity, a Dallas-based, operationally focused private equity firm managing more than $1.5 billion in assets under management. At Insight Equity, he was responsible for all aspects of deal sourcing, evaluation, and execution of acquisitions. James also partnered with portfolio company management to execute strategic and operational initiatives. Prior to joining Insight Equity, James worked in investment banking for Stephens Inc., where he focused on mergers and acquisitions and assisted Stephens Capital Partners in the evaluation of control and non-control investments.

Wayne Moore, Crux Capital’s Managing Partner, said, “We are excited to have James join our team; he brings tremendous investment experience in the lower middle market where we operate.”

About the Firm: Crux Capital’s core mission is to invest in and grow small, profitable companies. We focus on buying a select number of high-quality businesses and partnering with management teams to build value over the long term. The firm’s limited partners are comprised of successful entrepreneurs, family offices and the principals of Crux Capital. Importantly, as a privately funded enterprise, we are not constrained by traditional private equity limitations pertaining to deal structures or artificial holding periods. Instead, we implement strategies to build and unlock value over time in partnership with company management. We are not looking to “buy and flip” companies.
