YEARS EXPIERIENCE

Our team has invested in and supported over 40 businesses since 1982 and work closely with our portfolio companies to ensure their success.

Some investment considerations include:

  • We invest in companies with over $7 million in annualized revenue. We prefer control transactions but in unique circumstances will look at making a significant minority investment.
  • We typically invest in product-oriented manufacturing, consumer & industrial companies with meaningful opportunity for growth.
  • Partnering with founders and management teams to support the existing team to build sustainable growth organizations.
  • Our team is uniquely experienced in partnering with company founders looking to transition their companies, often while retaining a significant stake in the business.
