Percheron Capital
The Firm
Percheron Capital of San Francisco describes its mission as building category-defining essential-services businesses, the businesses that keep America running, and its current scale as more than $8 billion under management, 200-plus investments, and an eighty-plus-person team. The name is a draft-horse breed, and the identity matches: unglamorous trades, heavy pulling power.
Two things distinguish it from the other essential-services firms here. The first is platform breadth: tire and auto repair under Big Brand Tire and Service, whose Belle Tire purchase in July 2026 was among the largest independent tire-shop deals ever, commercial HVAC under Solidaire, plus foundation-repair and fire-safety platforms. The second is Percheron AI Ops, an in-house applied-AI engineering team building proprietary systems for frontline service workflows, which it treats as a core differentiator rather than a side project.
For auto-repair and HVAC searchers, Percheron is the argument that the trades' consolidation endgame is technological, not just financial: its claim is that AI-equipped platforms out-operate independents, not merely outbid them. Anyone meeting the firm should know the essential-services framing, the AI Ops team, and the multi-platform structure, because all three are how it describes itself.
