What HarborWind is building.

The first HarborWind-branded acquisition closes in 2026. We are evaluating founder-led industrial businesses with $2.5M–$12M in EBITDA, with equity and debt lined up before we sign an LOI, and two principals who make every decision.

The reserved platform

Reserved for the first HarborWind acquisition. It fills the day we close.

Platform №1 · Closing 2026

In diligence.

Founder-led. Lower-middle-market industrial. Bought to modernize and hold. This card fills when we close.

Seventeen acquisitions, sourced and closed.

Over roughly 14 years, co-founder Rocky Lopez built a lower-middle-market industrial record of 6 platforms and 11 add-ons. Every one was bought from a founder or a family, modernized, and held for the long term. That record is the proof behind HarborWind.
