Our Story

At Micro-Cap Solutions, we specialize in advancing high-growth, high-demand businesses in the lower and middle markets.

Micro-Cap Solutions provides executive search, outsourced corporate services, and HR consulting to high-growth, high-demand businesses.

Our roots trace back to Ninth Street Capital Partners (NSCP), a lower middle-market investment firm with a strong track record of scaling businesses. A key driver of NSCP’s success has been strategic talent acquisition, organizational design, and HR expertise—critical elements for growth-stage companies.

Founded by Matt Swatek, Micro-Cap Solutions is backed by NSCP’s Managing Partners, who share a vision for building a best-in-class HR and back-office consulting firm. We specialize in supporting lower middle-market private equity firms, search funds, and growth equity investors as they scale operations and professionalize in the face of “must-deliver” situations.

In 2024, we launched a pilot program extending our services beyond NSCP’s portfolio. Over the past year, we have completed double digit executive searches, multiple software and systems implementations, and established an overseas staffing operation in Latin American through an exclusive partnership.

Given the overwhelmingly positive results, we formally launched Micro-Cap Solutions to provide:

  • Executive Search – identifying top-tier leadership and key hires
  • Outsourced Corporate Services – such as operations, finance, and HR solutions
  • HR Consulting – organizational strategy and talent optimization

Unlike traditional firms, we don’t just find talent—we help businesses build the people, processes, and infrastructure they need for sustainable growth.
