WHO WE ARE

Yes, we buy companies.
No, we don't play the short game.

No quick flips, no squeeze. Just focused growth that targets lasting success.

We’d never settle for anything less.
Neither should you.

Who you sell to matters.

We believe the typical way that private equity treats companies is broken.

All too often, employees and customers get the short end of the stick. We believe there's a better way.

WHAT WE’RE DOING

we work with people that are proud of what they built and are looking to grow or sell.

      We’ve flipped the model of private equity on its head. Regularly, investors have prioritized short-term gain over the people that worked to grow the company. We decided there was a better way.

We provide the resources, expertise, and guidance in the hand-off of your company and team, over to ours. We’re partnering with those that want long-term growth and to leave a lasting impact.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE FUEL FOR THE FIRE

Our handshake is as good as our signature.

Integrity defines our legacy. Our reputation is built on doing what's right, even when it's hard. Never cut corners, always honor your word.

It’s all about how you get back up.

Challenges are inevitable. We embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow stronger. With grit and resolve, we overcome obstacles and forge a brighter future.

Conquer with camaraderie, not toxicity.

A determined, optimistic mindset is the key to success. Our positivity empowers teammates, clients, and stakeholders. We refuse negativity–it undermines our purpose.

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

Think critically, weigh the impact, and choose wisely. Our commitment to excellence demands thoughtful decisions that serve our purpose and our people.

Find your center, achieve your peak.

Balance is a must for sustained success. We remain adaptable. We work hard and we rest hard. We consider the goals of the organization and the needs of our people.

We understand the concerns that come with selling. Losing control of what you've built. Your team treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.

That ain’t us.

We're driven to empower. We build lasting relationships with people, not profits.
