We are big believers in the power of founder-led businesses.
And a bigger believer in the business you’ve built.
We are an unconventional acquirer that gives founders the opportunity to secure their legacy and move on to their next adventure.
All while preserving the company they’ve built and positioning it for long-term growth.
Why are we different?
Focused
We focus solely on one business at a time. Which means 100% of our time and energy goes to building your business.
Growth-Oriented
Our goal is to grow your business into a market leader by taking what you’ve built and strengthening it even more.
Long-Term
Our thesis hinges on investing in long-term growth, not 3-5 year fund cycles. We're talking decades, not years.
Flexible
Our flexible capital base means we can structure a transaction that best suits your personal and financial needs.
Niche-Focused
We didn’t partner with just any investor group. Each one has a stellar track record of investing and operating.
People First
Your people are the heart and soul of the business you’ve built. Our job is to prioritize and foster that culture.
We are not private equity. We are not venture capital. We are not a strategic.
We are a different (and better) kind of buyer.
