MKH Capital Partners

Founder and Managing Partner Miguel Heras leads the investment team. Partners Stanley Motta and Mike Kazma — principals of the two families that anchor the firm’s capital — sit alongside him. The investment team includes Vice Presidents Victoria Arango and Dan Moore, plus three Associates.

The Motta and Kazma families provide the capital base. Both families have operated businesses for 30 years across financial services, telecom, retail, airlines, energy, and distribution, primarily in Latin America, and have co-invested together for two decades. Professional investor Miguel Heras partnered with them to form MKH.

MKH pursues control buyouts, significant minority partnerships, and corporate carveouts. The firm targets companies generating $2 million to $15 million in EBITDA, with transaction sizes between $10 million and $200 million. Portfolio evidence shows a buy-and-build pattern across niche consumer services and healthcare.

MKH structures as direct private equity, not a fund-of-funds. The firm takes direct control or minority positions and has also participated as a minority co-investor alongside other sponsors — for example, in Allied Universal, the global security-services platform.

Patient family capital eliminates a fixed fund-life horizon. MKH can hold platform investments beyond a typical three-to-five-year PE cycle and pursue a buy-and-build cadence without the pressure of near-term exit timing, a structural difference from institutionally raised fund managers.

The disclosed portfolio concentrates in healthcare services — addiction treatment, autism therapy, fertility-clinic management — and consumer services such as automotive aftermarket and health-and-beauty franchising. The firm’s website does not tag explicit sector exclusions, but the investment criteria point to niche industry players capable of regional or national scale.

MKH is headquartered in Miami with an additional office in Panama City, Panama. Portfolio companies operate across the United States: Florida (Clean Streak Ventures, Haven Health Management), Arizona (Wax Center Partners), Georgia and the Carolinas (Able Kids, All Together Autism), with additional exposure through the Allied Universal co-investment, which operates in over 90 countries.
