Our Approach
302 Capital Partners was established by two dedicated entrepreneurs to acquire, operate, and accelerate growth on a long-term basis. We are supported by a number of talented entrepreneurs and world-class investors with deep experience investing in, growing, and operating successful companies.
We work with you to create a flexible exit plan that will allow you to achieve your short and long-term goals; whether you want to stay involved in the business, achieve a full exit, or transition over time, we will establish a succession plan that works for you.
Unlike many institutional capital providers, such as private equity, we are focused on preserving and sustainably growing your company’s legacy. Our priority is to stimulate growth while ensuring continuity for your employees, customers, stakeholders, and the brand you have built.
If you would like to learn more about us, chat about your exit strategy or your business in general, please reach out.
Our Difference
Company Legacy: company values and legacy are often not a priority in private equity transactions, or when absorbed into a larger organization. We preserve and grow your legacy.
Commitment: rather than being one of several passively managed portfolio companies or business units, we will take full-time operational roles and ensure the business & legacy are properly transitioned.
Growth Strategy: our value creation strategy is focused on sustainable growth and stewardship and will not be centered around financial engineering, synergies or significant cost cutting.
Time Horizon: we are focused on being long term operators. Our investment period is not defined by the life of a fund and we have flexibility in how capital is returned to investors.
