Two people, one conversation.
There is no analyst layer and no investment committee. The people you meet are the people who decide.
Lee leads every conversation
Lee Smith has completed 32 M&A deals over 12 years. He puts the seller’s legacy at the centre of every one, and prefers a partnership where founders keep meaningful equity and stay involved on their own terms.
Scott leads operations and integration
Scott Adams leads the development of our HVAC and Renewable Energy portfolios. He has built and scaled businesses in these trades himself, so the plan for your business after completion comes from an operator.
