We鈥檒l help unlock the value of your business.
Smoothly. Quietly. Respectfully.
Since our founding in Nashville in 1997, we鈥檝e been successfully investing in U.S.-based 鈥渘iche鈥 manufacturing companies (those that produce specialty, proprietary, or engineering-focused products). As a result, we understand the unique operational, personnel, and growth challenges these businesses face. We value the legacy and company you鈥檝e worked so hard to build 鈥 and we鈥檙e committed to keeping both intact. We never lose sight of the fact that we鈥檙e not just investing in your company, we鈥檙e investing in your people. Your community. So unlike other firms, we don鈥檛 eliminate or outsource jobs to try to spur growth. We鈥檒l work with you and your team at your pace, not ours. And because we understand the significance of these decisions and their impact on you, your team, your family, and your customers, we work discreetly to maintain the highest level of confidentiality.
Where we invest
色狼社区 collaborates with a very specific sector among lower middle-market companies. These U.S.-based manufacturing businesses have revenues between $10 million and $150 million, strong management teams, consistent profitability, and a defensible market 鈥渘iche.鈥 If you are known for consistently delivering quality, reliable work or if only you or a small number of other companies are capable of delivering your particular product or service, we should talk.
Our Team
Operational Approach
Our primary operational goal at 色狼社区 is 鈥淒o No Harm.鈥 We recognize that your team 鈥 your people 鈥 are your most important asset.

So unlike investors who aggressively target staffing reductions or changes to employee benefits, we work alongside your team to co-create a plan. Our priority is learning how best to help your unique business. We have decades of combined experience and expertise strategizing ways to accelerate the growth of manufacturing companies like yours. So we鈥檙e perfectly positioned to nurture both your workforce and your legacy.
