  • Family-owned and founder-led businesses
  • Businesses across all industries
  • Established management teams
  • Companies needing growth capital or liquidity

Real Estate + Infrastructure

We invest in residential and commercial real estate development.

Investments

We invest with best-in-class managers across public and private markets.

McCombs Enterprises deploys capital across a range of investment strategies. Our capital is patient, flexible, and long-term by design. That allows us to move decisively, hold through cycles, and serve as a reliable partner to the managers and businesses we back.

What we look for:

  • Best-in-class managers across strategies such as venture capital, private credit, and private equity

What we look for:

  • We back proven upstream-focused management teams applying technical rigor to unlock value in existing fields
  • We invest in infrastructure including gathering and processing systems, pipelines, storage, and transportation assets.
