About

Nicholas Antoine is the Co-CEO and Managing Partner of Red Arts Capital, a private equity firm he co-founded at 26 to invest exclusively in supply chain and logistics businesses—one of the most vital yet overlooked sectors of the economy. At Red Arts, he leads investment research, thesis development, fundraising, and firm strategy, bringing a disciplined, long-term approach to partnering with and scaling founder-led companies. Over the past decade, he has overseen more than $1 billion in transactions, grown the firm’s team tenfold, and helped Red Arts’ first institutional fund rank #7 on Bloomberg’s 2025 Best Performing U.S. Buyout Funds list.

Before founding Red Arts, Nick served as Chief of Staff to the Founder and Co-CEO of Ariel Investments, a $14 Billion investment firm, and began his career in equity research, building a foundation in fundamentals-driven investing. His leadership has been recognized with Crain’s 40 Under 40 and Most Influential Leaders honors. Outside of investing, Nick is a passionate supporter of the arts, serving on the Board of Trustees of the Studio Museum in Harlem, and is a former jazz saxophonist who has performed at Princeton University and iconic New York City venues. He holds a B.A. from Princeton University.
