About Us
We got started in 2017 as a fundless sponsor. 8 years on we completed 9 acquisitions, operate a holding company with several different businesses spanning across education to enterprise software, and employ 150+ people.
Our goal is to build up to $100M in annual revenue within the next 5 years.
We are a permanent capital company. We buy businesses using cashflow from existing operations and, occasionally, debt. Our capital comes from friends, family, and ourselves. We have none of the constraints of a conventional private equity fund - such as hold periods. We still own our first acquisition.
Once we acquire a company our ethos is to pursue sustainable growth. This means thoughtfully investing when there is opportunity, carefully controlling expenses, and tightly managing the tension between the two.
