Stone Road Capital

All three managing partners — William Overbay, Michael Mikytuck and Mark Wienberg — share investment decision-making authority. Overbay sources and structures transactions with a corporate development and principal-investing lens, Mikytuck contributes institutional capital-markets and fundraising judgment from over 30 years of experience, and Wienberg applies operational diligence from his tenure as COO of a $2 billion public company. The partners have stated they invest only in sectors where they have deep domain expertise, which serves as the primary investment-committee filter.

Stone Road targets fragmented industries and situations overlooked by larger private equity firms, leaning on the partners' personal networks built over a collective 75 years of operating and investing experience. The firm seeks businesses with multi-generational ownership and strong reputation-based barriers to entry, which often produce proprietary introductions rather than competitive auction processes. Overbay's prior family-office platform investments and Wienberg's tenure inside Suburban Propane provide relationships that feed sector-specific origination.

The firm states it does not interfere in day-to-day operations, instead supplying a proper capital structure, strategic advice, acquisition support, and resources to build shareholder value. The partners 'do not take an active day to day role' and instead draw on their network of operating partners to support management teams. This hands-off operating philosophy, combined with no fixed exit timeline, means a portfolio company's strategic horizon is determined by value creation rather than fund-life constraints.
