WHAT WE DO

We Practice Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition.

Our team has both built companies from scratch and acquired large, established businesses — scaling them to the next level. But where we thrive most is in acquiring and growing founder-led companies. We bring deep operational and investing experience, with a commitment to honoring legacies and building for the long term.

What is Entrepreneurship through Acquisition? Entrepreneurship through acquisition is the practice of buying and building existing businesses to grow and create long-term value, rather than starting from scratch.

Our Mission & Core Principles

Our mission is to provide flexible solutions that empower like-minded business owners to transition the companies they’ve built to people they trust in a way that honors their legacy.

We have 3 simple core principles:

  1. Think Like an Owner

    We operate with a long-term mindset. When we find outstanding businesses and management teams, our ideal hold period is forever.

  2. Treat All Team Members with Complete Respect

    Every voice matters. Every role is valued.

  3. Tough on Results, Soft on People

    We drive accountability with empathy and believe that integrity builds enduring performance.


What We’ve Achieved


  • Acquired companies owned by families, institutional investors and ESOPs

  • Invested over $1.5 billion in acquisitions of various manufacturing companies

  • Turned a $10,000 investment into a $6.5 million company in thirty-six months

  • Completed 20+ deals in thirty months

  • Purchased $1 million in inventory, and operationalized it into a successful business

Our Expensive Education


  • Laid off 30+ workers at one time

  • Invested $0.5 million in a good concept gone bad when leadership spent $1.6 million on investor money in six months

  • Purchased a food processing company for $40 million that lost significant money, and then sold it for $10 million several years later

It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.
