Preserving Communities and Legacies

Our mission is simple: preserve and strengthen community businesses using Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). We start by purchasing a business, lead the business through a period of sustainable growth, and finally convert the business to a form of employee ownership.

We currently operate like a search fund—actively searching for one business to acquire and operate. Unlike venture capital firms, we aren’t seeking 10x or 100x growth projections. Instead, we are looking for businesses that we can grow organically with the future in mind, building on existing trust with customers, communities, and employees.

Private equity usually exits by selling to the highest bidder. We exit by selling to employees. Following the growth period, we will begin an exit process that transitions ownership to the company’s most important asset: its people. An employee-owned end state is the ultimate way to preserve a seller’s legacy.

Employee ownership improves business performance, builds employee wealth, and ties businesses inextricably to their communities.
