How we partner matters as much as what we build.
Partnership isn’t a structure we put around a deal. It’s the work itself. How a business is built shapes what it becomes, and we take that seriously from day one.
Every business is different but how we show up shouldn’t be. Here is what founders can expect from us, in every relationship we build:
A point of view built by decades of experience.

Long-term capital and a team that moves.

Cultural alignment as a hard requirement.

Focus sharpens conviction. We invest in a defined set of businesses, founder and employee owned, profitable, and operating in end-markets we know well. The criteria below are where most of our best partnerships start.
Founder- or employee-owned businesses considering their first outside partner
US and Canada-focused with the ability (or existing ability) to create cross-border presence
Strong free cash flow backed by a diversified base of long-term clients
Up to $100 million
Up to $20 million
A growth mindset with integrity that’s embedded in the culture and team
We invest where the work does not stop. Our focus on essential and regulated service businesses support the communities and economies that depend on them through every cycle. That durability is what gives us the confidence to hold for the long term.

We work alongside management teams to provide the operational support, strategic resources, and honest counsel that help good businesses grow into great ones, all at a pace that makes sense for them.
Deep network
Access to operators, advisors, and customers we’ve built relationships with over decades. We open doors and stay involved long enough to make sure they lead somewhere.
Long term capital
We hold for the long term. This patience lets the business invest behind real opportunities, not just chase the next quarter or the next exit.
Operational support
Practical support across finance, talent, systems, and growth where it is genuinely useful. The goal is to strengthen the team, not replace it.
Growth through acquisition
Acquisitions when they sharpen the business, not when they pad the model. We help identify, evaluate, and integrate the right deals only when it makes the company better.
