We have $30mm+ of active equity capital as a firm, as well as an extensive capital raising network to close deals and to bring in operational expertise.

Size: $5 to $200 million in revenue (primarily, wholly-owned subsidiaries from large companies).
Earnings: Profitability not a requirement. Up to $10mm EBITDA.
Geographic Preference: North America (United States, Canada).
Characteristics: Significant recurring revenue or lack of customer concentration; primarily businesses without significant capital expenditures. Mission-critical products.
