Partnering
with Successful Entrepreneurs
Longboat Partners is an independent, veteran-owned and operated investment company focused on partnering with business owners to help them achieve the next phase of growth.
We are financially backed and supported by a team of
successful
entrepreneurs, executives, and private investors
with a diverse set of backgrounds and skill sets.
Our goal is to preserve the legacy and culture business owners have spent decades building, and form partnerships with the owner and management team to establish a plan for future growth.
We are not private equity.
We are patient capital
focused on building partnerships with successful entrepreneurs that are focused on delivering long-term results, not short sighted returns.
Our Partnership Approach
We strongly prefer to partner with existing owners and management
to continue running the business but we have the flexibility to offer a complete exit for owners under the right situation.
Our model allows us to partner as minority investors for owners seeking growth capital, majority investors for owners interested in a strategic partner, or a complete exit for owners for select opportunities.
