We have partnered with over 200 search fund entrepreneurs. We understand the search and the proven method to find a great company in a growing industry. A few ways we can accelerate your search:
From Coley helping us raise our search fund to Keith providing spot-on guidance, Pacific Lake's team has been there for us every step of the way. Knowing they'll continue to be there when we close a deal gives us confidence in our conversations with owners. Pacific Lake’s resources – financial and strategic – changed the way we thought about our search.
Pay a fair price for a great business. A few of the ways we help:
We invited Pacific Lake into our deal to help get our sizable acquisition across the finish line. They moved quickly and brought experienced software guidance to the diligence process and to our board. Our transaction closed in large part to their willingness to step up and lead the charge. Adding Pacific Lake to our team was, and has been, a game changer.
This is when the fun and the real work begin.
Some of the resources available to you:
After acquiring CLEO, Jim served as a mentor, role model, and differentiated board adviser. His and Pacific Lake’s integrity and commitment to building deep relationships have made them a great business partner. I have been delighted to be a part of the Pacific Lake family.
“We all want to go faster, but sometimes we need some help to show us how.”
This is the kind of support from investors that we dreamed of when we each decided to go down this path several years ago.
Liquidity - After several years of successfully operating the business, your equity value in the company may represent a significant portion of your net worth. If you desire to continue operating the business, we have the ability to recap the business and provide liquidity to you and other shareholders.
By partnering with us, you can expect the same operating environment with increased resources. As you transition to the next phase of growth, we can help develop your board talent, such as providing a new operating director who has experience scaling a business from $100M to $500M+.
Growth equity - We can provide additional capital for any growth initiative. We have directly contributed over $40M of growth equity to our search fund companies.
Jim and Coley's network of individuals and institutions played a critical role in helping us raise over $450 million of debt and equity.
