Philadelphia Business Journal Features Y Capital

On September 11, 2025, the Philadelphia Business Journal profiled Y Capital’s launch, our first investment, and the Yellowwood platform.

Highlights

Y Capital, led by Managing Partner Eric Vest, will focus on technology-enabled growth in traditional industries; the team will pair capital with hands-on strategic support.
We led a $15M investment in Dextall; co-investors include L+M Development Partners, Simpson Strong-Tie, Winklevoss Capital, and Stellifi; proceeds will support the company’s AI-powered façade design platform and national expansion.
Yellowwood, our AI software, will help executives assess growth and capital readiness; it will be part of our value-creation toolkit.
We plan to raise a $100M fund next year; target companies are profitable lower-middle-market businesses with $20M–$100M in revenue across industrials, life sciences, and digital infrastructure.
