Successful businesses are built on the hard work, skills, ideas & values of the Founder(s)
Many forms of investment capital don’t appreciate what makes the company unique:
Some buyers maximize margin for a short term return
Others will be quick to import their own culture and priorities
Most investors will undervalue the importance of why the company was created and who it serves
We Believe
Great companies should be held & operated into perpetuity through long term ownership
Purpose is the foundation of culture, which creates the fuel for outperformance
We can bring value & growth through experiences with a culture oriented, multi-generation family owned business
