Carrying your business forward with respect and responsibility

Ready to operate not just invest

I am committed to one business — and I am ready when the right opportunity presents itself.

Zora Capital was created for one purpose: to acquire one great B2B business in New England and carry it forward with care, continuity, and disciplined leadership.

I believe a business is more than financial results. It is people, relationships, reputation, and the steady work that built it over time. Succession is not disruption — succession is continuity with intention.

I am focused on businesses in the $400K to $1.5M EBITDA range — but the real priority is the quality of the culture, people, and fit.

Why "Zora"

Zora is the Slovak word for sunrise — the beginning of a new day. I chose this name because succession is not an ending — it is a thoughtful new chapter built on the strength of what already exists.

What I Value in a Seller

I value owners who care deeply about their people, their legacy, and the culture they have built. I resonate most with leaders who believe their business is not only a financial asset, but a community — a place where trust, respect, and commitment have been earned over many years.

I appreciate sellers who want to see their employees supported, their customer relationships honored, and their story continued with steadiness and care.

Mission Statement

My mission is to acquire and grow a single small business in New England while preserving its unique culture. I value authenticity, continuous learning, and the well-being of all stakeholders — employees, customers, vendors, and communities. I believe in the long-term value of steady, honest operating work — and in the American small business tradition that keeps communities strong.

How I Think About Target Industries

I focus on essential, hardworking industries that keep America running — sectors built on relationships, reliability, and consistent service.

I am interested in:

  • Industrial services
  • Specialty B2B services
  • Niche manufacturing
  • Value-add distribution
  • Waste & environmental services
  • Commercial maintenance

If your business is outside these categories, but you believe our values align, I would still welcome a conversation.

These are not "trend" categories. They are real businesses where continuity matters — and where a thoughtful successor can continue the story responsibly.

Founder & Managing Partner

I founded Zora Capital because I want to contribute to the backbone of American business. I believe succession should be grounded in respect — not disruption — and that a thoughtful new owner can honor what works while building responsibly toward the future.

My path has always involved working directly with business owners and learning how decisions affect real people. After earning my Economics degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston, I joined Medaglia & Company in Nashua. I began as an Administrative Assistant and, through commitment and curiosity, grew into the role of Small Business Financial & Tax Advisor — supporting owners through decisions that impacted their teams, cash flow, and long-term security.

I later earned my MBA in Entrepreneurship from Babson College, where I strengthened my analytical foundation and connected with a community of practical, values-driven builders.

In 2024, I launched Zora Capital to acquire one great company. I understand the pride and sacrifice it takes to build a business — and I deeply respect the responsibility of being a steward of someone's life's work.

I am not a private equity fund or a consolidator. I am an operator — someone who wants to learn the business, preserve the culture that works, support the people who make the business successful, and build for the long term with intention.
