Pennybacker Capital Management
1111 W. 6th Street Bldg. A, Suite 200, Austin, TX, 78703, United States
Overview
In 2006, the partners at Pennybacker Capital identified the opportunity to build a fundamentally better real estate private equity firm with a non-traditional team addressing a void in the middle-market; a firm combining hands-on operational expertise in addition to institutional risk management systems. This premise, coupled with a relentless focus on value investing, provided the catalyst for the business to evolve from a full-integrated commercial real estate operator to a fund sponsor serving institutional investors, family offices, high net worth individuals, and wealth management advisors.

Cambrian Innovation leverages an award-winning proprietary product suite and its flagship Water-Energy Purchase Agreement (WEPA) model to deliver turnkey wastewater treatment, water reuse, and energy recovery-as-a-service. Under WEPA the company designs, constructs, installs, owns, and operates treatment systems, charging customers only by the gallon treated or kilowatt hour generated. Cambrian serves commercial and industrial customers in the food, beverage, and resort industries and has implemented solutions for Anheuser-Busch, Sapporo, Keurig Dr. Pepper, Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, and Discovery Land. Founded out of MIT in 2011 and based in Boston, Cambrian is led by CEO Matthew Silver.

Recent capital from Pennybacker — an investment plus up to $200 million in growth equity commitment — is intended to support expansion and improvement of its offerings while continuing to deliver cost savings and sustainability benefits to customers without upfront capital expenditure.
