We Are Growth-Focused
Business Builders

Collaborative approach

We take a true partnership approach to investing, working side by side with founders, owners, and management teams to align on goals and build long-term value. Our model emphasizes transparency, mutual respect, and shared success. By leading with trust and a flexible mindset, we create enduring relationships that unlock each business’s full potential.

Close alignment with founders/owners

We believe independence fosters better alignment and outcomes. Our deal-by-deal structure encourages trust, collaboration, and alignment among investors, entrepreneurs, and capital providers.

Using our prior experience to grow companies

Our Founders bring deep experience in senior investment roles at leading private equity firms with 30+ years of investing in profitable and growing companies, partnering with strong management teams to build exceptional companies, including more than $6.5 billion invested across 100+ companies and 100+ acquisitions.

Management’s expertise, our partnership; fueling growth together
