ABOUT US
WE ARE ENTREPRENEURS
We have experience and passion to build businesses – we have unique appeal to sellers because we are them.
WE ENHANCE VALUE
We are savvy operators, strategic acquirers and experienced team builders.
WE ARE FLEXIBLE
We adapt our investment approach to fit the situation and the needs of the business owner.
WE PROTECT THE SOUL OF THE BUSINESS
We think of the companies we invest in as our teammates and our partners.
WE HELP THE PRESIDENT & CEO ACCOMPLISH MUCH MORE
As the owner and likely the operator of your business, you may find yourself having difficulty finding the time to focus on important projects like business optimization, organizational structure, use of technology, acquisitions and capital structure, to name just a few. Think of us as your personal coach and partner to help you accomplish more.
WE INVEST OUR OWN CAPITAL
Unlike many investors who rely primarily on outside capital, we put our own “skin in the game” - up to $15M of equity on a specific transaction - and would raise outside capital for larger deals.
OUR CORE BELIEFS
Building great businesses takes time
We believe building exceptional businesses takes time so we are in it for the long run and fully appreciate that most overnight success stories take years. We don’t try to time the market.
Creativity is a powerful engine
We believe that every company needs its own playbook. We do not believe in jamming through a “one size fits all” solution.
Flexibility is essential
The world is evolving at an increasingly faster pace, so we need to be aware of new information, thoughtful about new dynamics and willing to adapt.
Realism and optimism are equally important
We see the world as it is while maintaining a positive attitude and the confidence that we will continue to succeed.
Making calculated bets is necessary to achieve outstanding results
Success does not happen to the timid. We are wired to play offense and will constantly scan for opportunities to take smart risks, ideally in situations where we’ve won the game before it starts.
Delivering on our commitments is the highest form of trust
We agree with Charlie Munger that “trust is one of the greatest economic forces on earth.” If we commit to doing something, we will follow through and if we cannot commit, we won’t make the promise. We partner with people who share this same philosophy.
Alignment is critical
We work with leadership teams to align on a vision, identify the necessary resources, gather the right people and assets, and put in the work to achieve our goals.
Unicorns are real
We understand that successful businesses are created in the real world through building relationships, hard work, and determination, not behind a computer.
People are the magic
Anyone with money can buy a group of assets and acquire a warehouse. The true magic happens when the right people come together with a shared vision and collaborate to achieve their goals.
