Dynamic Core Capital Partners (formerly Dubin Clark)

Dynamic Core Capital Partners is a private equity firm. Its about page states that "For over 40 years, our predecessor firm, Dubin Clark, was known for partnering with founder-led businesses in the lower middle market. Now, as Dynamic Core Capital, we carry that legacy forward." The site describes the change as a rebrand reflecting "additional leadership, a new strategic focus, and a bold new vision." The domain dubinclark.com now redirects to dynamiccorecapital.com. The firm's stated purpose is "Partnering with Experienced Executives to Build Extraordinary Companies" - it backs seasoned executives who acquire and lead lower middle market businesses. The site describes four pillars of its value creation strategy: strategic M&A acceleration (targeting "1-3 high-impact add-on acquisitions per platform"), a disciplined organic growth engine, market and customer expansion, and operational and financial optimization. The about page names Brent L. Paris, Michael P. Hompesch, and Thomas J. Caracciolo as Founding and Managing Partners, and states that together "they've executed 150+ transactions, hired over 25 CEOs." The team page also lists Molly Simmons (SBIC Operating Partner), Matthew A. Broullire (Partner), Michelle M. Cummings (CFO/Chief Compliance Officer), Mark P. Chinetti (COO), Thomas C. Cooperrider (Principal), Connor T. Bozzo, Jeff Krieger, Dominick M. Berardi, JD Ogden, Christine D. Garcia, Lily C. Wilkinson, and Elizabeth Broxton. A separate Operational Advisory Group is listed with this published note, quoted verbatim: "Operational Advisory Group Members bring industry and functional expertise and are not employees of or compensated by the Firm, but may be by portfolio companies." The website does not publish assets under management, fund sizes, fund performance, or a founding year for Dynamic Core Capital itself.

Lists Brent, Jacksonville Beach, Miami Beach, Alton, Paris, Revere, Boston, and Elizabeth as a location. Names Florida, Massachusetts, and United States as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Phone

(904) 799-1984, published on the contact page and in the site header as the number to call. Two office locations are published, and both are the addresses shown in the site footer on every page. The headquarters is located at 1030 Second Street South, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250, labeled "Jacksonville Beach - HQ". A second office address is 400 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139, labeled "Miami Beach". No Boston or Massachusetts office or address appears anywhere on the site. The contact page carries a "Send us a message" form with fields for Name (required), Company, Email (required), Phone, and Comments (required), introduced with the line "Have a question for us? Ask away." Similar forms appear on the pages for business owners, executives, intermediaries and investors. The site's "Email us" link points to this contact form rather than to a published email address, so no direct email address is published. The firm also links to its LinkedIn page. The site does not publish office hours or opening times, so the hours the offices are open are not stated. It does not offer online appointment booking, scheduling, or a calendar link, and there is no way to book or schedule a meeting directly on the site - contact is made by phone or through the contact form. There are no prices, pricing, rates, fees, cost figures, or quote or estimate request tools anywhere on the site. The area served for platform investments is given only as "Geography: United States"; no city-level or regional service area is published.

The Executive Partnership Program, referred to on the site as EPP, is described as "our flagship program for identifying and partnering with exceptional executives who want to lead and build a company with the backing of an experienced private equity firm." The page contrasts it with traditional executive search or CEO-in-residence programs: "you bring operational expertise and leadership, we bring capital, deal sourcing, and extensive value creation experience." What the page says an EPP partner gets: significant equity ownership in the business they lead; access to deal flow from the firm's sourcing network; capital backing for acquisitions and growth; operational support from the advisory board; and "Strategic partnership not micromanagement." What the firm says it looks for: seasoned P&L experience in senior leadership roles; industry expertise in target sectors named as "specialty services, event services, industrial services, or related industries"; an operational track record of driving improvements and building teams; leadership and culture fit; an entrepreneurial mindset including "willingness to invest meaningful personal capital alongside us and the drive to build something significant over a 5-7 year horizon"; and a note that military officers transitioning to civilian roles and Fortune 500 executives are welcome. The published four-step journey is: 1. Application - "We review every application personally." 2. Getting to Know You. 3. Deal Sourcing. 4. Partnership Launch, in which the executive leads the company as CEO with significant equity. Executives apply through the "Apply to EPP" form on the page, or contact the firm at (904) 799-1984. No application fees, costs or rates are published, and the site does not state how long the process takes.

The business owners page addresses founders and families exploring a transition, recapitalization, or a growth partner. It states: "Our executive partnership model ensures your company's culture, team, and mission continue to thrive," and describes an approach centered on partnership rather than ownership alone. Six published commitments are listed: culture preservation, with executives "selected specifically for cultural fit"; team continuity and retaining key talent; sustainable growth through operational improvements rather than "short-term financial engineering"; results-driven operators with hands-on experience; aligned incentives, with executives holding "significant equity stakes in portfolio companies"; and valued owner input. Under "Is Your Business a Fit?" the page publishes: Revenue $5 - $100M+; EBITDA $1 - $15M+; a results-driven business model with consistent performance; a strong company culture worth preserving; opportunity for operational improvement; and an owner ready for transition or growth capital. A Common Questions section on the same page states that many founders stay involved after a sale as advisors, board members or in part-time operational roles, and that "Some founders prefer a clean break, while others want to stay connected." On holding period it states: "We typically hold investments for 4-7 years, though this can vary based on the business and market conditions." That is the firm's stated general practice, not a commitment for any particular transaction. The published next step is a confidential conversation: "Exploring a potential partnership begins with a confidential, no-obligation conversation." Contact is by phone at (904) 799-1984 or through the form on the page. The site publishes no valuation, price, pricing, fees or cost figures, and no valuation estimate or quote tool.

The intermediaries page publishes a "Target Platform Profile" for the kinds of companies the firm looks at: Revenue: $5 - $100M+; EBITDA: $1 - $15M+; Geography: United States; Structure: "Control buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth equity". The same revenue and EBITDA ranges are repeated on the business owners page and the investors page. The published "Focused Industry Sectors" are: Industrial IoT Services; Residential and Commercial Services; Infrastructure and Wastewater Services; Event Services; Facility Services; Automotive Services; and Industrial Services and Specialty Niche Branded Manufacturing. Listed key characteristics the firm looks for are a results-driven business model with stable cash flows, a strong management team or clear executive opportunity, opportunities for operational improvement, add-on acquisition potential, and a defensible market position. For bankers, M&A advisors and other intermediaries, the page states: "We respond to deal submissions within 48 hours and provide clear, timely feedback throughout the evaluation process." It describes the process as transparent, with diligence conducted upfront. Deal opportunities are submitted through the contact form or by phone at (904) 799-1984; the site publishes no separate deal-submission portal and no fees, rates or cost terms of any kind for intermediaries. These are the firm's stated screening criteria only. Meeting them is not a statement that any company will receive investment, and the site does not say so.

The page invites add-on acquisition opportunities with the line "Have add-on opportunities?" and a Contact Us link; those are directed to the firm's contact form or phone (904) 799-1984. The site does not publish investment dates, deal sizes, purchase prices, hold periods, or any performance or return figures for these companies, and it does not state where each portfolio company is located. Anything beyond the names and current/realized status above is not published.
