About Us.
Chemistry Matters Most.
Our first step in assessing a viable prospect is making sure its owners / management and our team click.
Track-record.
It’s tough to choose an equity partner. It’s easier knowing your partner has been a successful team for over 20 years, buying then building companies like yours.
Wealth Diversification+
We provide a business owner with immediate wealth diversification, PLUS wealth creation over time from a carried interest in the company as our partner.
Management’s Partner.
We are economically aligned with management, sharing the common goal of increasing shareholder value for our mutual benefit.
Focused on the Future.
Our due diligence is about the future, not the past. What are the market opportunities? How do we help management achieve them? Post-closing, we apply decades of C-suite experience, working closely with management on operational strategy design and execution.
Resource Rich.
A benefit of being in business as long as us is a deep bench of supporting team members. We provide our portfolio companies with access to essentially every type of resource they may need, from highly specialized business consultants to IT & systems experts, C-suite candidates & more.
Middle Market.
Lower middle market companies are in a class of their own. By focusing exclusively on this sector, we successfully merge our experience building businesses with management’s deep operating and sector knowledge.
