We do deals that don't fit the mold.
Bespoke deal structuring and non-traditional capital strategies. By invitation only.
The Firm
A boutique consultancy, by design.
Dark Horse Capital is a boutique consultancy led by Devon Ryan Johnson, Founder. We specialize in bespoke capital strategy, working with visionary founders, funds, and family offices to unlock complex opportunities.
That work is backed by 20+ years of global experience and $9B+ in capital commitments sourced across private credit, real estate, and alternatives. Every engagement is discreet, strategic, and by invitation only.
How We Work
Bespoke Deal Structuring
Complex opportunities rarely arrive in a standard wrapper. We shape the capital strategy around the deal, not the other way around.
Non-Traditional Capital Strategies
When conventional paths stall, we map the ones that don't appear on the first page of the playbook.
Founders, Funds, and Family Offices
A small circle of clients with large, unconventional ambitions, and the discretion to match.
Few clients. Full attention.
Devon takes on a small number of consulting engagements at a time. That is not a marketing device, it is how the work stays sharp. A conversation comes first, and if we are not the right partner, we will tell you.
