Growth and buy-and-build at scale.

Principal positions in established mid-market businesses — growth capital, buy-and-build, and the operating muscle to turn a solid company into a far more valuable one.

The mid-market is full of good businesses one or two moves away from being great. We make those moves with you.

What it is

Conviction in established businesses.

The mid-market — real companies with real revenue, often founder- or family-owned — is where operating help and patient capital compound most reliably. These are not bets on whether a business will work; they're bets on how much better it can become with the right capital, the right moves, and operators who've done it before.

We take growth and buy-and-build positions, and we bring the full Consulting practice to bear on the value-creation plan: operations, pricing, go-to-market, technology and AI, and corridor expansion. The thesis is straightforward — a good mid-market business, plus operating muscle and a clear plan, becomes a materially more valuable one.

It pairs naturally with our family-business transition work, and with the structures that carry buy-and-build.

What's 'buy-and-build'?

Using a strong platform business to grow by acquisition as well as organically — a core mid-market strategy we support.
