SDC Capital Partners

Todd Aaron and Doug Kaden serve as Founder/Managing Partner and Managing Partner, respectively, and lead the firm. A deep bench of named partners — including Matt Baker, Joshua Barenbaum, Todd Clapp, Qazi Fazal, David Fiedler, Clinton Karcher, and Vladislava Rebeiz as Partner and General Counsel — collectively drive deal origination and execution. The firm does not publicly segment roles beyond the partner list displayed on its website.

No. The firm states its focus is exclusively digital infrastructure: data centers, network fiber, wireless infrastructure, and cloud and IT services. It does not pursue consumer-tech, healthcare, fintech or other non-infrastructure sectors.

SDC credits its in-house engineering and construction specialists — a Shared Services Provider group of roughly 20 development, design and data-center professionals — with generating proprietary opportunities. The firm can underwrite and develop assets operationally, which often surfaces off-market transactions in the hyperscale and metro-fiber segments.

SDC deploys common equity, preferred equity and structured debt, targeting single-asset and platform acquisitions, growth- and development-capital injections, select shareholder liquidity solutions, and carve-outs. It can take controlling or minority stakes, with check sizes ranging from $50 million to over $1 billion.

SDC reports investments across eight countries. It operates offices in New York, Charleston and London, and has delivered data-center and fiber projects in multiple regions, though it does not break out exposure by country.
