Private Equity Group

I invest out of a dedicated fund with committed capital from LPs
My fund has a defined size and I deploy that capital across multiple investments

Family Office

I manage investments on behalf of a single family's wealth through a dedicated entity or investment team
Capital comes from the family's balance sheet, not outside investors or a fund

Search Fund

I have raised committed capital from a group of investors specifically to find and acquire a single business that I will then operate
I'm searching for a single business to acquire and personally operate, using my own capital rather than outside investors

Independent Sponsor

I source acquisition opportunities and fund deals primarily by raising equity from outside investors on a deal-by-deal basis
I do not have a committed fund and typically co-invest personal capital alongside LP equity

Holding Company / Family Business

I own and operate one or more businesses and acquire additional companies to build or expand my portfolio
Acquired businesses typically operate as standalone companies rather than integrating into an existing operation

Corporate M&A

I acquire on behalf of an operating company investing off its own balance sheet
Acquisitions typically integrate into or complement our existing business

Individual Investor

I invest personal capital directly into acquisitions rather than through a fund or advisory mandate

M&A Advisory Group

I provide buy-side advisory services and represent clients who are the actual acquirers
I am not the principal buyer and work multiple client mandates simultaneously
