A partner to share the insomina.

Building a great business takes years of extreme highs and lows.

Selling it, only happens once.

What if there was an alternative to traditional private equity?

A partner to share in the insomnia, to help you grow the business to the next level, not on your own?

We're an investment holding company built on a simple belief: the best businesses are grown, not just bought.

Our approach comes from decades of building and investing in companies ourselves. We know what it takes to navigate the challenges, seize the opportunities, and create lasting value—because we've been in your shoes. That experience shapes how we think about partnership: we're not just providing capital, we're rolling up our sleeves alongside you.

We focus on smaller private companies where our hands-on experience makes the biggest difference. Our capital is patient, our approach is flexible, and our commitment extends well beyond the transaction.

Wanting the smoke

In the NBA, there’s a shorthand for someone who won’t back down from a challenge, “wanting the smoke.”

For us, we dont just want the smoke, we climb down the chimney.

Our ideal partner :

  • Is at an inflection point in the business where “something needs to change.” This could be a capital infusion, generational transition, or recognition that a fresh perspective is needed to take the business to the next level.

  • Is looking to see the legacy carried forward; not “just a transaction.”

  • Majority transaction

  • $0 - $3MM Discretionary Free Cash Flow

How We Share the Insomina

  • Where are we going and why?
