One business.
One focus.

We acquire, lead, and grow one great Kiwi company.

The next chapter your business deserves

You didn’t build your company from a spreadsheet, so we don’t try to run it from one.

KMC isn’t a distant investment firm.
We are operators who step in to do the work.
We buy one business to lead it for the long haul, protecting the culture and team you’ve spent years developing.

Our founder Zaya Katz moves into the CEO seat
on day one. He brings a rare mix of institutional discipline and startup grit, having spent his career protecting capital for high net-worth investors and working directly alongside founders to scale
high-growth businesses.

He understands that real value isn’t built
in a boardroom — it’s built on the ground. You get the rigour to keep your business safe and the operational experience to help it thrive, ensuring your legacy is in hands that know how to work.

Our Purpose

Selling the business you built shouldn’t mean watching it get dismantled.

Too many buyers look at businesses in New Zealand and only see a balance sheet. They cut costs, merge teams, and strip away the identity you spent years creating.

We exist to offer a different path. We don’t buy
to flip; we buy to build. We are here to keep
the name on the door and the team in their seats. We honour the past by pouring fresh energy into
the future, ensuring your legacy continues to grow long after you step away.

Evolution, not revolution

We build on the foundation you created.

Protect what works

Your people are the secret sauce. We keep the team in place and the values intact. We don’t come in to “clean house” – we come in to support the house you built.

Strengthen with Intent

You may have manual processes that slow things down. We invest in technology, workflows, and people  to untangle bottlenecks, letting your team focus on doing their best work.

Chase the Future

We bring the capital and the fresh energy to go on the offensive. Whether it’s entering new markets or launching new products, we take the business to heights you always knew it could reach.

What we look for?

Great businesses come in different stages.

We don’t expect perfection on day one.
Some businesses are fully independent and ready for a seamless handover (Exceptional). Others have great bones but are still shaped daily by their founder’s hands (Strong).

No matter the stage, we approach every conversation with deep respect for the values
that made your business great in the first place.

Exceptional Businesses

We welcome private conversations with owners of exceptional
businesses that demonstrate:

Mission-critical products or services that customers rely on daily

High quality, recurring revenue or high-repeat purchase behaviour

Fully formed management layer able to operate independently

Enduringly profitable and resilient over time

Strong Businesses

We also welcome private conversations with owners of strong
businesses that demonstrate:

Trusted products or services grown via word-of-mouth, not active sales

Loyal customer base with recurring revenue model potential

Capable operational team but still reliant on owner strategy

Profitable history prioritizing stability over aggressive expansion

Although we prefer 100% ownership, we will buy less if vendors wish to continue to participate in the success of their business, particularly if their business is Exceptional and/or large.

We will not engage in unfriendly takeovers.

Our Process

01. Reach out privately

Send a brief note about your business, timing, and what matters most.
All conversations are confidential.

02. Introductory call

We respond within 1 to 2 business days to arrange a short, private call
and understand your goals.

03. Clear next steps

If there is a fit, we outline a simple path forward and request only high level details to begin, with discretion and no pressure.

Ready to start?

Thank you!
