Investments
Target companies will have the following characteristics:
Industry
- While we are industry-agnostic, we prefer to invest in light manufacturing businesses with B2B sales into multiple customer segments.
Profitability
- We prefer businesses with EBITDA between $500,000 and $3,000,000
Management & Talent
- One of our core tenets is to keep the employees in the business post transaction. We prefer not to make any management or employee changes.
BUSINESS MODEL
- We are interested in businesses which are predominately manufacturing and/or distributing a durable goods.
LOCATION
- We are geography-agnostic provided the business is headquartered and has most of its employees in the continental U.S.

- Because of our interest in long-term investments, we are averse to acquiring a business held by private equity or a hedge fund.
