2026 Searcher Partnership Opportunity
January 26, 2026

We’re in the process of selecting one partner to work with this year. We’ve spent a lot of time in this phase of our fourth deal cycle because we believe the leader of the business is the primary driver of success. We’re also intentional about not stretching ourselves thin — to provide real value, we need to be fully committed to a single opportunity with one partner.
If you’re a searcher who wants to own and operate your own business, but doesn’t want to go at it completely alone, I’d love to connect.
We partner closely across the full lifecycle — deal sourcing, underwriting, diligence, capital raising — and stay actively involved post-close with operations, investor relations, and key strategic decisions.
We’ve worked with and vetted many strong candidates who ultimately realized they’d benefit from having real partners — not just capital, but a true sounding board with aligned incentives. Support at the top in small business is hard to find, and we think that matters.
If that resonates and you think you’d benefit from one or more of the above while maintaining majority economic and operating control, I’d welcome the chance to introduce our firm and get to know you.
