Samson Capital Group

Robby Markose is Founder & Managing Partner and drew the firm's investment program from his prior role managing private equity at Samson Investment Partners. Drew Poley, also a former Samson Investment Partners principal, serves as Founder & Partner. The firm's website states that its principals collectively source, diligence, underwrite, execute, and manage investments.

Roy Zuckerberg is the Founder & Senior Advisor of Samson Capital Group. He was previously Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs and established the New York-based family office Samson Investment Partners, where both Markose and Poley managed private equity before spinning out Samson Capital Group as an independent firm with his support.

Samson partners with independent sponsors and industry experts to uncover lower-middle-market opportunities. The firm's website describes leveraging a 'strategic partnership network' to access inefficiencies in its target EBITDA range.

The firm focuses on companies with $3 million to $15 million in EBITDA, according to its website. It describes a value-investor orientation and emphasizes downside protection as part of its underwriting approach.

No. Samson Capital Group has not publicly disclosed assets under management or total deployment. Its website references a 'diverse investor base seeking exposure to the lower middle market' but provides no metric.

Samson was established as an independent investment firm, distinct from the family office Samson Investment Partners. It serves outside investors while maintaining a disclosed relationship with Zuckerberg, who acts as a senior advisor — a structure that embeds family-office sponsorship within an external manager format.

The firm's website does not state geographic limits explicitly, but its operations are managed from Dallas and New York, and its independent-sponsor model implies a North American mid-market focus.
