We speak entrepreneur

Pre-middle market companies  are at a critical spot in their development; entrepreneurial in spirit yet ready for a partner to help them get to the next level. Understanding this balance has been our sweet spot for more than 25 years.

We live entrepreneur

We have spent every day since 1998 building platforms alongside our management teams, matching their passion and focus while adding our experience supporting growing businesses.

We act entrepreneur

We’ve set an exceptionally high bar for ourselves because our partners do the same. We size up situations the same way entrepreneurs do, looking for solutions, embracing change and remaining committed to long-term success.

It’s EIQ that matters

Over the years, we have honed our Entrepreneurial IQ (EIQ) to best fit our management teams. In the pre-middle market, this EIQ allows us to provide resources and understand the needs of entrepreneurial businesses.

Our mindset matches those of our entrepreneurial management teams because we are entrepreneurs too.

We’ve been there. Seen that. Experience matters.

Driven by our passion to help management teams grow, we’re available both day and night. If it keeps our management teams awake, we’re on it.

We provide intelligence, not interference.

We’re not your usual private equity firm. We roll up our sleeves and get to work.

We have a bias for action. Big problems don’t phase us. Inaction does.

For companies on our radar, we believe the best measurement of whether or not a private equity firm is the right match is a high Entrepreneurial IQ (EIQ): the ability to provide resources and understand the needs of entrepreneurs.

Our mindset matches those of our entrepreneurial management teams.

We’re not your usual private equity firm. For starters, we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Driven by our passion to help management teams grow, we’re available both day and night.

We’ve been there. Seen that. As a result, we provide intelligence not interference.

If it keeps our management teams awake at night, we’re on it.

We have a bias for action. Big problems don’t phase us; inaction does.

We hope our website gives you a glimpse into what sets us apart. We have built a firm focused on entrepreneurs. We understand you and the challenges you face growing your business.

Our vast experience working with many teams in a variety of industries has taught us that the path to success is rarely a straight line. We have seen the obstacles. We have overcome the roadblocks. And we’re eager to help you and your team build a business that can be successful over the long term. We have stayed true to this mission since 1998, working with our management teams side-by-side as partners, helping build value and always looking ahead.

While we like to roll up our sleeves and get to work, we don’t believe hard work and fun are mutually exclusive. We genuinely love working with management teams that are passionate about their businesses and we know that enjoying the process drives successful outcomes. Every day we strive to be the private equity firm that entrepreneurs are excited to work with and investors respect.
