Independent family office with a long-term mindset

We partner with existing management teams, providing them with the capital and resources needed to drive the next phase of growth. Our flexible partnership model and indefinite investment horizon enable us to focus on building resilient businesses and creating value in the long run.

Key Investment Criteria

  • Ownership: We invest in family and management team owned businesses where the existing management team intends to remain in place

  • Industry: We are industry agnostic, but tend to focus on niche manufacturing, industrial services, value-added distribution, and infrastructure services

  • EBITDA: $1M - $5M of normalized / proforma EBITDA (smaller for add-ons and restructuring)

  • Investment Horizon: We are a long-term partner with no set investment horizon

  • Transaction Dynamics: We are majority equity investors and require voting control for all acquisitions
