FAX Capital
FAX Capital was established in 2018 by John F. Driscoll. The firm functions as the public-market expression of the Driscoll family's private investment activities previously conducted through Federated Capital Corporation. The strategy centers on buyouts with selective co-investments and growth equity. Asset classes include private equity, direct co-investments, and digital assets. Geographic reach covers North America and Europe. Technology focus areas encompass enterprise software and Web3 applications. Confirmed investment types also include positions in energy transition and renewables. Team leadership includes Blair Driscoll and Sean Driscoll as Co-CEOs. Both hold director roles at FAX Capital and Federated Capital. Sean Driscoll participates in the Canadian Association of Alternative Strategies & Assets as a speaker. The firm maintains two family foundations: the Driscoll Family Foundation and the Lee F. & Phoebe A. Driscoll Family Foundation. FAX Capital maintains a hybrid structure that combines a listed Canadian entity with wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Fax Investments Inc. for domestic holdings. This architecture allows public-market access while preserving family control over deployment decisions.
