Dustin Muscato

Founder & CEO · Managing Director, Auctus Capital Partners

Dustin is a seasoned finance professional and corporate advisor with nearly 20 years across private equity, credit, project finance, engineering, and executive leadership. He has advised roughly 50 companies and managed over $200 million in investments across more than 20 transactions.

Previously a Director at a NYC-based alternative asset manager, he built and managed a $75M energy-focused private equity portfolio and a $165M direct lending portfolio spanning industrials, life sciences, and technology — restructuring troubled positions into successful outcomes for companies and investors alike.

An electrical engineer by training, Dustin blends capital markets fluency with an operator's instinct: scaling a solar firm from $17M to $100M in revenue, and steering a California gas supplier into a sustainability leader serving 25,000 customers.

Network as an Asset

Two decades of industry experts, banks, strategic advisors, investors, and lenders — activated deliberately for each engagement, not name-dropped.
