Owner-CEO Partners Wanted | Actively Pursuing Florida Manufacturing Acquisitions

TriplePoint Equity is actively pursuing lower middle market acquisitions throughout Florida with an increasing focus on light manufacturing businesses. As our deal flow in this sector continues to grow, we are looking to connect with experienced operators who are interested in partnering alongside us to acquire, lead, and grow these companies. We are typically targeting businesses in the $1M–$3M EBITDA range across manufacturing, industrial products, building products, packaging, metal fabrication, plastics, distribution, and other essential B2B sectors. What we bring: • Deal sourcing and acquisition opportunities throughout Florida • Transaction structuring and seller negotiation • Capital raising and coordination of debt financing • Relationships with investors, lenders, and capital providers • Management of the majority of the diligence process while allowing operators to participate as much as they prefer • Hands-on support across all aspects of the business post-acquisition, including strategy, growth initiatives, recruiting, marketing, technology, finance, and operational improvements • Ability to source, diligence, structure, and help close future add-on acquisitions, allowing operators to focus on running and growing the business • Active board-level involvement and long-term partnership What we're looking for: • Experienced operators (President, GM, COO, VP Operations, Plant Manager, etc.) • Strong P&L and operational leadership experience • Desire to step into a CEO and ownership role • Willingness to invest personal capital alongside us • Long-term mindset (5–10 year horizon) • Florida-based or willing to relocate within Florida • Manufacturing, industrial, or related operating experience preferred We invest on a deal-by-deal basis and partner closely with operators to build significant long-term equity value together. Unlike many search fund models, we source the opportunities, handle much of the acquisition process, raise the capital, coordinate financing, and then remain actively involved after closing to help operators build exceptional businesses. This is a true ownership opportunity, not a hired CEO position. Typically our Owner-CEO partners own 40% or more of the business post close. Whether you're: • An operator ready to lead an acquisition • A self-funded searcher looking for a capital partner • A manufacturing executive interested in business ownership We would love to connect.
