We work with and invest in companies that care about what’s next. We know that grit, perseverance, and passion go into every company and we strive to carry on that legacy. We care about people – employees, customers, suppliers, and communities – and we want to promote personal and professional growth. Here’s what we’re all about:

We believe that success doesn’t happen overnight. Success isn’t a flash in the pan but a lot of small wins over a long time. That’s why continuous improvement is part of our DNA (it’s where our name came from). We strive to understand the “why” behind every action and don’t accept “that’s how we’ve always done it.”

More importantly, success is a mindset founded in honesty, agility, perserverence, and patience. It’s good old fashioned hard work and doing what you say you’re going to do – every time.

People are everything. Businesses are nothing more than people striving for the same goal together. With that being said, we want to work with good people – people who care about people – and on work that matters. We don’t have all the answers but we know that working with good people gives us a better shot.

If you’re looking for advisors who strictly follow spreadsheets to prescribe your actions, we’ll let you down. We enjoy getting our hands dirty – we’ve drilled wells, dug holes, cooked pizza and always have a good time doing it. Our involvement isn’t a set structure – it varies based on the needs, team dynamics, and growth stages. At a minimum, we provide financial resources and experience we’ve gained over the years. We’ve been found most useful in financial systems and relationships, technology and implementation, and networks of talent and specialists.

We know that that growth can make or break a company if you’re not ready for it. We take a hard look at internal systems and processes not only to make them more efficient but also to prepare them for growth. We firmly believe in an inverted pyramid where we place employees at the top because they are closer than anyone else to the customer. Our role is to support employees by creating an environment that provides the tools, supplies, and information they need to do their job, especially in times of growth.

If this sounds interesting to you or someone you know, or you just want to start a conversation, give us a shout.

We’d love to chat.
