Since 2010, we have partnered with over 100 talented entrepreneurs who share our passion for acquiring and growing small businesses, be it through a traditional search fund or an alternative Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) structure, including committed capital vehicles and long term holds. In partnership with these entrepreneurs, we have invested in and achieved meaningful growth with more than 70 companies, generating significant returns to shareholders.
We endeavor to partner with entrepreneurs who are enthusiastic about the ETA journey, who are thoughtful and intentional about their entrepreneurial path, and who are ready to work as hard as we are to find the optimal company for them to buy - one that sparks an entrepreneurial fire and will foster their growth and success as a CEO.
Personal Mentorship
We are true thought partners and mentors throughout the journey, drawing from our extensive experience serving on boards across a broad range of industries.
Deep relationships form the foundation of our partnerships. These begin well before we formalize our partnerships and endure long after. We invest meaningful and regular time with our entrepreneurs throughout their journeys.
Tailored Support
We understand that every ETA journey is different, and we tailor our engagement and support accordingly. We provide resources along the entire journey, from search fund launch to closing an acquisition to post-acquisition board work and value creation acceleration.
How we support each entrepreneur varies depending on individual strengths and needs and where we identify that we can be most additive.
Relevant expertise
We are resource hubs, opening our networks and making industry-specific and value-add introductions. We also have a group of talented Advisors with deep experience to further support our CEOs.
Flexible capital
We support entrepreneurs pursuing a range of ETA paths, from traditional search funds to committed capital vehicles, including multi-acquisition strategies and holding companies, to those who want a single, committed investor partner.
