Partnering with passionate entrepreneurs to grow small businesses and preserve legacies.
About us
We partner with experienced operators and entrepreneurs to offer business owners an operational succession plan alongside a financial exit. One of our Entrepreneurs in Residence takes a full time leadership role within each business we acquire and is committed to growing it for the long-term. This allows us to provide business owners a way to transition out of daily management responsibilities and know their legacy is going to be preserved and nurtured to further prosperity. We acquire businesses out of a committed fund, so there is no risk in our ability to close. Our team includes highly experienced entrepreneurs, operators and investors focused on long-term growth.
