Zorro Capital

Zorro Capital is a Cleveland firm that helps entrepreneurs find, acquire and grow established businesses. Founded by Michael Fox in 2015, it matches owners of small and midsize manufacturing, distribution and B2B service companies, mostly in the Midwest, with the next generation of owner-operators, then backs them with capital, due diligence, deal support and mentoring after the sale.

Its approach is "buy well, do well": a good outcome for both buyer and seller, with strategy worked out before the transaction. Companies in its portfolio have included Ohio Travel Bag, Northern Ohio Field Services, Hermann's Pickles, Advantage Puck Technologies, Acchroma and The 72 Chocolate Collection.
