We do more than just invest capital. We take a unique and flexible approach to value creation in the lower middle market. Our approach has been molded and influenced by our 60+ years as entrepreneurs, operators, and investors. This experience gives us a unique lens when assessing opportunities, structuring deals, and creating long lasting value (preserving the legacy). While process and methodology are important, we also recognize that no two opportunities are the same, and apply a flexible investment structure and entrepreneurial approach to create enterprise value.
