Stable Road Capital

Stable Road Capital is a single family office that employs an opportunistic approach to fundamental value investing. The firm focuses on acquiring and investing in high-quality operating businesses, assets, and funds. Their investment mandate is built upon three core principles: capital preservation, current yield, and risk-adjusted total returns. Beyond its investment activities, Stable Road Capital also operates a foundation dedicated to impacting the health and well-being of individuals and communities globally.

The firm was established in 2017 by Ed Freedman, who previously founded and chaired Total Merchant Services, a leading credit card processing provider that he successfully sold in 2017. Following this exit, Freedman channeled his entrepreneurial drive into establishing Stable Road Capital to manage investments in both public and private value-creating assets. Brian Kabot, with over 18 years of principal investing experience on Wall Street, joined as Chief Investment Officer in July 2017, bringing expertise from roles at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Questor Management Company, Reservoir Capital, Sun Capital Partners, and as a Founding Partner of Riverloft Capital.

Stable Road Capital invests across various verticals, including public securities, private credit, private equity, real estate, and venture capital, with a notable interest in the cannabis sector. Their portfolio includes companies such as MedMen, a management company for licensed cannabis operations, and DRINKS, a provider of e-commerce enablement products for the alcohol industry that leverages AI-powered tools. The firm typically participates in Series A and Series B funding rounds, as well as conventional debt investments.

The team at Stable Road Capital is led by Chairman and Founder Ed Freedman and Chief Investment Officer Brian Kabot. Pablo Rendon serves as Director of Operations, bringing a diverse skill set from the sports and private jet industries, with a focus on improving company logistics through coding. Emily Murphy is the firm's Accountant, and Katie Freedman Goldsmith acts as an Advisor, contributing her extensive background in education and community engagement, particularly through the Stable Road Foundation.
