About Us
Our team consists of skilled entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and consultants with extensive knowledge and relationships worldwide-from Dublin to Durban, Minneapolis to Manila, Pakistan to Poland, and Chile to China. We focus on applying our business acumen and leveraging our global contacts to channel knowledge and value. As internationally recognized strategists, we tap into a global network of influential, energetic, high-net-worth individuals.
Our dedicated management and advisors leverages our 150+ years of collective experience.
We understand the immense sacrifice, persistence, courage, and vision required to build a company that truly matters. Focusing on Accelerating Growth in Industrial, Manufacturing, & Financial Services, we invest in companies with proven product-market fit and robust revenue growth. For us, this typically entails businesses with at least $5 million or more in annualized revenue, demonstrating compelling returns.
Investment Approach
We Typically acquire 100% of each Company.
- We take a very long term perspective on growing value. Most of our acquisitions are "permanent" holdings, with no plans for sale in the near or medium term.
- We seek to preserve the legacy and strengths of acquired businesses while being transparent with the seller, management, and employees of the business regarding our plans post-close.
- We add value through new capital, technology, industry relationships, and process improvements. We also pursue add-on acquisitions to develop more mature organizations with increasing value to the marketplace.
- We strive to be fair to all parties involved in a transaction
Differentiators
Our capital is supplied by a single source, which provides us with certain differentiators.
- Flexible as it relates to time horizon and deal structure.
- We prefer and assume a long-term holding period for our acquisitions but are also opportunistic with our exits.
- We work with the seller to negotiate seller financing, bank financing, buyout structures, etc., suitable to the deal.
- Ability to act quickly and always with discretion. We have few operational bottlenecks to getting a deal done quickly.
- Our diverse operational experience in manufacturing, transportation, global business, health care, and IT provide an advantage over other financial buyers in increasing the value of our portfolio companies.
Investment Criteria
We are seeking to acquire stable, profitable businesses with the following characteristics
- EBITDA $500k to $3M
- Revenues $2M to $15M
- Strong management team
- Great reputation
- Established senior executive in place (or one can be identified before closing)
- No specific industry focus, but manufacturing, business services, and Industrial, are of interest.
