About the Firm

Principal Capital.
Operator Mentality.

We originate, acquire, and broker capital across critical infrastructure and essential services — closing deals we want to own and placing the rest with our network of family offices and sovereign wealth funds.

What We Do

Dominus Capital Group originates deals, runs full due diligence, and closes on acquisitions across four verticals — data center bridge loans, DC acquisitions, home services M&A, and on-site power generation.

What we want to own, we buy. What's a better fit for our network of family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional partners, we broker and place. Either way, we control the process end to end — underwriting, diligence, structuring, and close.

Our focus on data center infrastructure is driven by a fundamental thesis: the digitization of the global economy demands physical assets — power, cooling, connectivity — and the capital markets have not yet priced the scarcity of those assets correctly.

Our home services vertical is built on a different insight: the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical industries are undergoing a generational ownership transition. Founders built durable businesses and deserve counterparties who honor that.

Originate, Acquire & Broker

We source and close deals we want to own. When a deal is a better fit for one of our partners — family offices, sovereign wealth funds, institutional co-investors — we broker the capital and place it with the right buyer.

Critical Infrastructure

Data centers are the backbone of the modern economy. We acquire and finance the physical assets — buildings, power, land — that make the digital world run.

Essential Services

HVAC, plumbing, and electrical aren't glamorous, but they're indispensable. These businesses have recurring demand, pricing power, and loyal customer bases.

Energy Transition

The grid cannot keep pace with data center power demand. On-site gas turbine generation is a bridge technology — and a real business opportunity today.

Investment Thesis

Why These Verticals. Why Now.

01

AI is a Physical Asset Problem

Training models and running inference at scale requires enormous physical infrastructure — power, cooling, fiber, real estate. The AI arms race is fundamentally a data center arms race. We are positioned directly in the capital stack of that build-out.

02

Grid Constraints Create Opportunity

Interconnection queues stretching 5–7 years in primary markets mean on-site generation is not optional for new DC developments — it is required. Gas turbines are the pragmatic, deployable solution available today.

03

Speed is Permanently Scarce

Institutional capital is slow by design. Committees, compliance, quarterly closes. For operators who need to move on a lease-up opportunity or a tuck-in acquisition, speed is worth a premium — and we provide it.

04

The Boomer Business Transfer

Over the next decade, trillions in privately-held small business value will transfer as baby boomer founders retire. Home services — HVAC, plumbing, electrical — represent the largest concentration of this opportunity.
