About RP Capital Group
Built for the Long Game
RP Capital Group was founded on a simple belief: this industry only works when advisors act as good stewards of the market.
Most advisory firms are built to maximize deal volume. We were built to maximize trust.
Low overhead allows selectivity. Selectivity allows integrity.
We work with a limited number of clients at any given time — because that’s the only way to give each engagement the attention it deserves. We’re not trying to be the biggest firm in the space. We’re trying to be the most trusted.
"We'd rather lose a deal than lose a relationship."

Colton Rodgers
Founding Partner
Colton Rodgers is a seasoned mergers and acquisitions advisor and entrepreneur with a proven track record of executing complex transactions across the specialty retail and commercial real estate sectors.

What We Stand For
Integrity
We don't push deals. We advise honestly — even when the honest answer is 'wait.'
Discipline
Fewer engagements. Deeper work. Better outcomes. We are selective by design.
Relationships
Our reputation is built on trust earned over years — not transactions closed this quarter.
Long-Term Thinking
We measure success in decades. Every recommendation we make accounts for what happens after the deal.
