We believe a partnership should pay back and pay it forward.

First—for your people—we build new pay systems so the leaders who create value share in it, especially value that goes beyond what the company earned before.

Second—for your company—when the time is right, we share the playbook and teach how to grow by acquiring: how to find the right company, how to bring it in well, and how to keep what made it great.

When these two strategies are applied, everybody wins. And not just in the short term. Our approach never loses sight of the long game, and ensures that growth never sacrifices long-term stability or health for the sake of short-term gain.

The heroes of this story

As we look at our current portfolio of companies—MIINC, Stratus Systems, and Ideal Consolidated—we see leaders who have built, and are now growing, the value they create. They are the heroes of the next chapter of growth at their companies.

And as they continue to grow, our role starts to transition to one like a running coach: a steady guide and presence who knows the game, understands the strategy, appreciates the team's strengths and weaknesses, and provides wise counsel to each company so they can run the second half of the race stronger than the first.

Where this leaves you

Ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now, we want you to look back and see that your company's best chapter came after you handed it off.
