Our Approach
We are long-term investors that do not have a set investment time horizon. Rather, we are focused on building a
strong partnership and creating value over the long term.
We provide flexible succession and exit plans for business owners. We’ll craft a tailormade transition plan to ensure
to that our goals are aligned and the business has a seamless transition.

with have the following criteria:

- Located in North America
- Companies looking to sell or those in need of Socium (partner) capital to grow
- Core operating team wishes to remain in place, or is open to an agreed upon transition period
- Our preference is to acquire a controlling (>51%) interest in companies, but we will occasionally look to make minority or growth equity investments
