Who We Are
A Principled Investment Partner
Our mission is to secure the hard-fought legacies of business owners by working with them to transition their small-cap, entrepreneurial businesses into robust platforms able to absorb growth.
​
Value Creators at Our Core
We acquire great businesses, primarily from founders and owner-operators, and then work together to enhance shareholder value over the ensuing years. This period of value enhancement is where we generate returns for our investors and sellers through roll-over equity. We are in the same boat with you.
​
Collaborative Capital Partners
We believe that the best results come from working closely with all stakeholders. From the initial acquisition to ongoing operations, we partner with founders, management teams, and employees to ensure a seamless transition and continuous growth. Our approach is characterized by open communication, shared goals, and mutual respect.
