Operationally-focused equity partner for lower middle market businesses
We are consultants and investors. Thinking like owners is part of what helps us drive unmatched value for our consulting clients. We have built significant expertise advising dozens of companies over the last several years, driving nearly $100M in EBITDA. Our philosophy of providing big-name consulting firm quality at an approachable price for marquee middle market private equity firms extends to our Principal Transactions. Just as we target working with PE firms and family offices that are smaller than the previous firms we served, our principal investments are smaller than those that our clients pursue - typically between $2M and $10M EBITDA, where markets are inefficient and owners of great companies cannot reach institutional investors.
Our goal is to maximize the success of our founder, family-run, and private equity sponsor partners. To achieve this goal, we provide our partners a platform to leverage capabilities once reserved for only the largest firms, including expert advisory from DPO&Co consultants and back-office offshoring through our Business Process Outsourcing practice.
To connect with us and learn more about how partnership with DPO&Co can catalyze the growth of your business, please drop us a note and we will be in touch.
