Partner buy-in

Our Partners

  • In late 2023, we finalized our first partnership with a mature and industry leading Ontario professional services brand, acquiring a majority stake in the company. Today, we are helping previous ownership grow the business both within Ontario and across Canada.

  • Talius

    In early 2024, we co-invested alongside Dovesco in Talius, a Vancouver-based building materials company. Talius focuses on security rollshutters and eco-friendly external solar shades, using a North American distributor channel to sell their product lines.

  • In mid 2024, we partnered with CDS Foods Inc., a Montreal-based leader of specialty produce imports in Canada. We are working alongside existing ownership to strategically grow the business.

  • Alongside our partners at Jigsaw Capital and Clear North Capital, we purchased 18 Five Guys locations in Minneapolis & St. Paul. As big fans of the brand, we are excited to help grow Five Guys across the nation, while maintaining what makes it incredible.

Why Work With Us?

  • Unlike traditional private equity, we are not looking to buy and sell your company to the next buyer within 5-7 years. Our goal is to hold for decades - we buy amazing companies, partner with amazing management teams, and maintain what made your company incredible in the first place.

  • We work closely with businessowners to help them de-risk while still maintaining some level of ownership and immersion in the businesses they helped grow. If you get heartburn thinking about traditional private equity growing at any cost with short-term thinking, we may be the partner for you.

  • While we take a majority position in the businesses we buy, we are looking to work as partners, not owners. Whether that’s you, or your management team, we are looking for incredible people to back and support.

  • You have lived, breathed, and sweat your business for years. You still believe in it, but want to take some chips off the table. We want to be the equity partner that lets you do so, while maintaining an important role in your business.

  • Fundamentally, we buy excellent companies and our goal is to maintain what makes them excellent: their culture, people, and history. We aren’t buying to radically change your business, fire your employees, and look for efficiencies at any cost. We buy well-run businesses and back the teams that got them to this position. We also love to help management get skin in the game if you want to transition out.

  • We are not looking to buy, gut, and flip your business. We are inspired by Berkshire Hathaway and looking to be lifelong holders of any businesses we purchase.
