WE CARE AS MUCH ABOUT OUR LEGACY AS YOU CARE ABOUT YOURS

Traditional investors see the world as a zero-sum-game where their profits come ahead of all other interests. We are different!

Business Philosophy: We treat all stakeholders like we want to be treated ourselves
Our firm was founded on the premise that fair play and business success go hand-in-hand and that treating everybody fairly and with integrity and respect is the only acceptable way to do business.  In action, this means we communicate openly, factor in the interests of all stakeholders and always deliver on our promises and commitments.

Investment Approach: It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price
While we are industry- and geography-agnostic, we seek to invest in companies with fundamentally solid business models and are happy to pay fair prices for such assets. As an entrepreneurial firm we have the flexibility to structure deals in a variety of ways to tailor transactions that meet each seller's specific needs and objectives.

Operating Approach: We are hands-on entrepreneurial managers with a long-term perspective
We want to take the business we buy to the next level and are eager to roll-up our sleeves and assume day-to-day management responsibility to make it happen. In doing so we invest in the systems and people that will drive growth and ensure the long-term success of your business. Said simply, we are hands-on entrepreneurial managers with a checkbook, rolodex and long-term perspective.

WE ARE NOTHING LIKE TRADITIONAL BUYERS

We’re looking for a single business and will devote all of our effort to its long-term, independent success. The table below summarizes some of the key differences between us and traditional private equity or strategic buyers:

WE ARE FAIR AND EASY TO WORK WITH 

We provide sellers with a transparent, fair acquisition process designed to eliminate the traditional transaction pain points, uncertainty and difficult negotiations that permeate many M&A processes. We believe that the acquisition process is often the beginning of a long-term relationship, and we strive to begin that relationship with a positive experience. 

How do we make the transaction process fair and transparent? We identified the most common areas where acquisition processes fail and largely eliminated them for sellers. Below is a table that illustrates how working with us is simpler and less frustrating than working with traditional investors.
