What We Do

Rational Capital is an operationally-focused investment fund targeting to acquire, operate, and grow an exceptional company.

Don’t let the name fool you: Rational Capital is not private equity, venture capital, or even a conglomerate.

Instead, Rational Capital is owned and operated by a single person, Nate Margaglio, with the sole purpose of acquiring a single business. Nate, however, is backed by mentors, investors, and resources which allow him to properly engage in the process of business acquisition in a professional and serious manner. Rational Capital is the business through which Nate can effectively leverage these resources for these purposes.

What We’ll Do

Connect

The first step in our process will be to connect with the business owner to get an understanding of what they’re looking for and whether or not we’d make a good fit for one another.

Due Diligence

Next, we’d take a thorough look into the operations of the business to make sure it we’d make a good fit as its new owner. During this time, we’d keep everything confidential and private, with no strings attached if it doesn’t work out.

Sale

At this point we’d negotiate the terms of the sale and finalize financing. Investors, lawyers, etc. will be involved as needed to make sure everything transacts smoothly. The seller will receive their proceeds and help transition the company as needed.
