Medina Capital

Verizon acquired Terremark Worldwide, a data center and cloud services company founded by Manuel D. Medina, for $1.4 billion in 2011. That exit anchors Medina Capital's investment thesis: the firm targets companies operating in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and critical technology sectors where the principal's operational experience provides a genuine edge in due diligence and post-investment oversight. The Terremark outcome also established Medina's credibility with enterprise buyers, which portfolio companies can leverage for customer introductions and partnership scaling.

Medina Capital was instrumental in the formation of Cyxtera Technologies, a data center colocation and connectivity provider. The firm helped structure the carve-out of data center assets from CenturyLink and subsequent launch of Cyxtera as a standalone entity. Cyxtera later went public via a SPAC merger before undergoing a Chapter 11 restructuring in 2023 and selling assets to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. The transaction illustrates Medina Capital's model: combining operating expertise with structured, asset-heavy technology deals.

Yes. While cybersecurity is the firm's most consistent thematic throughline, its portfolio scope extends to enterprise software, artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms, and infrastructure plays at the intersection of energy and data centers. The firm evaluates opportunities where complex enterprise infrastructure requirements create barriers to entry that advantage teams with operational experience in scaling mission-critical systems.
