💫 New vehicle. Same ethos. 💫 We're proud to share we have launched a Special Purpose Vehicle to further our strategy of partnering with high-quality, founder-led firms in the lower middle market. The real work begins now — building companies and supporting growth alongside passionate owners. Managing Director, Nate Novak, said it best "Our team developed a proactive thesis in this sector and gained conviction in the investment opportunity due to the essential nature of the service, the market’s fragmentation, and the multiple industry tailwinds that should drive growth for years to come. We believe that we can offer a compelling partnership opportunity for leading local providers that helps the business transition but maintains its successful legacy.” Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/eFaG9CP5 #hciequity #foundationrepair #specialpurposevehicle
