Investment Focus
Mid-Atlantic Focus
Given our roots in Washington, D.C., and our ease of access across the region, we prioritize opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic — where proximity enables close, hands-on partnership with owners and management.
Operationally Complex
Corporate carve-outs that need new infrastructure built from scratch, turnarounds, and situations with real operational complexity — these are exactly the deals we're built for. Our operating background means we're not just underwriting a business; we're prepared to help fix it.
Creative Deal Execution
Not every good deal looks like a clean auction process. We move quickly and structure creatively when speed and flexibility matter more than a standard process, including Article IX sales, distressed debt purchases, bankruptcy transactions, and corporate carve-outs. If the structure is unconventional, that's often where we can deliver.
Investment Size
We put $500K to $5 million to work per deal, typically in businesses with $1 million to $30 million in run-rate revenue — profitable or not. Complexity and financial performance don't scare us off; they're often exactly why the seller needs a buyer like us.
Current Investments
We serve nonprofits, associations, and businesses across the Mid-Atlantic region — organizations that need dependable, senior-level financial management without the cost of a full-time hire.
"Having a trusted partner with deep financial expertise gives our board peace of mind in our decision-making."
About Us
Meet Jonathan. He is an investor and deal executive with two decades of experience across the full transaction lifecycle — sourcing, structuring, diligence, and post-close integration. Over his career, he has completed more than 50 transactions representing an aggregate value of over $650 million. His formative years in the industry were spent at a private equity firm specializing in acquisitions of under-performing companies. He has since applied that investing and deal-making lens as an owner-operator and advisor, leading acquisitions, add-on integrations, and company sales.
No two deals are the same, so we don't force a single process on all of them — we move fast to understand your situation and build the right solution around it.
