Partnership Criteria
We partner with a number of individuals each year that want to work together to acquire a $1mm – $5mm+ business that has been sourced and vetted by our team.
We aim to acquire a minority (< 20%) stake in our partner businesses and help with analysis/vetting, closing, growth, and other key business initiatives.
We behave as true minority investors and let our partners make the key decisions (such as if/when to exit).
Our previous partners have included serial entrepreneurs, corporate executives running divisions of large companies, and former VC investors and bankers.
We have 3 simple criteria for selecting partners:
1. Individuals that want to devote their time to acquiring and overseeing the growth and operations of a business.
2. Individuals that have a unique skill-set they bring to the table – that we feel we can learn from.
3. Individuals that we feel our community would enjoy spending time with.
