BUSINESS BUILDERS WITH A LONG-TERM MINDSET
WHO
WE ARE
We are entrepreneurs who acquire and build businesses with a long-term mindset.
Highmount Madison is a long-term oriented investment partnership focused on acquiring and building an enduring family of businesses over a multi-decade time horizon. We offer a differentiated, long-term option for founders and families that want to continue growing their companies or transition their companies to a new owner.
Our goal is to continue investing in your business and building on your legacy while ensuring that employees, customers, and partners continue to thrive.
Why We're
Different
1) We invest permanent capital with a long-term time horizon (unlike short-term private equity).
2) We are entrepreneurs and business builders at heart.
3) We look to build on your legacy and relationships with employees, customers, and partners.
4) We keep things simple and work collaboratively to achieve your goals.
5) With our capital base, we acquire with confidence and move quickly.
OUR
FOCUS AREAS
We focus on US-based businesses between $1mm-$7mm of EBITDA (or seller earnings) in fragmented industries with favorable industry tailwinds, competitive advantages, and strong unit economics. We prefer working with family and founder-run businesses that want to bring on a long-term, legacy-focused partner to scale the business and / or transition ownership.
