As companies continue to mature, they face new challenges that require additional resources, capital and strategic direction. Our focus is to help bootstrapped entrepreneurs profitably grow their companies and unlock tangible value in the most efficient manner possible.

Entrepreneurs work hard and take risks to develop compelling and sustainable products and services. But changes in market demand and increased competitive pressures can pose challenges to growth initiatives and profit margins as a company matures. In addition, lack of capital may slow internal and external expansion. The bootstrapped strategies and execution that once worked early in a company’s life may no longer be as effective as a company scales.

We believe that our experience and resources position entrepreneurs and their management teams for this next stage of growth, when the risks and rewards are higher. We provide strategic guidance, and where prudent, back-end support in areas such as recruiting additional senior management, establishing strategic partnerships, and executing on acquisition growth initiatives.

Our portfolio companies leverage our proprietary relationships with lenders, accounting firms, attorneys and various outsourced service providers. And we support functional best practices and technology tools that maximize sales effectiveness, increase operating efficiencies, and support advanced financial reporting and analytics. While we are big proponents of these operational benefits, we are bigger proponents of developing the best internal culture possible. We believe that customer success starts with happy and motivated employees.
