KMI Sports Construction Announces New Strategic Investment from Sundance Partners to Fuel Company’s Continued Growth
KMI Sports Construction, a market leader in designing and building best-in-class athletic fields and facilities, announced that it has received a strategic investment from Sundance Partners, a private equity firm focused on lower middle market growth buyouts. Following record growth in 2024, KMI plans to leverage Sundance’s expertise to accelerate its expansion within Texas, enter new markets, and pursue strategic acquisitions.
KMI offers unmatched craftsmanship and quality service to sports associations, educational institutions, and municipalities within Texas and across the United States. Led by CEO Sean Kincaid and COO Rob Johnson, the company has developed a reputation for beautiful and durable installations and conversions. KMI’s commitment to superior workmanship and service translated to explosive growth last year and record demand heading into 2025.
The athletic field construction market contains a limited number of scaled specialty providers who possess the necessary qualifications and project history. Schools, municipalities, and private athletic associations are frequently building new facilities, especially in areas with population growth, as well as revamping existing ones. With an estimated total addressable market (TAM) of nearly $500 million in Texas alone, KMI has a significant opportunity to capture market share and establish itself as the leading name in athletic field construction, both in Texas and nationwide.
“Our partnership with Sundance marks a pivotal moment for KMI, enabling us to expand our reach and impact more than ever. This growth investment strengthens our ability to deliver on our core mission: creating the highest-quality fields and facilities, on time and on budget, to inspire athletes, engage communities, and set new standards for the industry,” said KMI CEO Sean Kincaid. “With Sundance’s resources and expertise, we are poised to take on more ambitious projects and continue redefining the athletic field construction landscape through a mixture of organic growth and acquisitions to expand our capabilities and geographical reach.”
Matt Lynch, founder of Sundance Partners, added, “KMI is doing something truly special in the world of athletic field construction. Sports are woven into the fabric of American life, and KMI fosters the joy of playing sports by creating fields that are professional-grade and awe-inspiring. Great things happen on athletic fields, and stunning sports venues serve as a lasting source of community pride. The Sundance team is thrilled to work alongside Sean, Rob, and the phenomenal KMI team to grow into new markets and geographic regions, both through organic expansion and via targeted strategic add-on acquisition opportunities.”
“As we move forward, our philosophy remains the same with an emphasis on safety, authenticity, attention to detail, quality, and dedication. We’re excited about what the future holds and look forward to building on our momentum together with Sundance,” added KMI COO Rob Johnson. “To our clients and partners, thank you for your continued trust and support as we embark on this exciting new chapter.”
