You built a business worth protecting.
We're here to make sure it lasts.
We buy one company and dedicate ourselves to running it — full time, long term.
We are a people-first alternative to Private Equity.
What this means for you
Your employees get a future.
We offer employee ownership to retain and reward the people you've built your company with.
Our approach is preservation, doubling down on what already works. We don’t do quick flips.
Hands-on leadership.
We personally run your company day-to-day, and industry CEOs join the board.
Our horizon is 5-10+ years to incentivize thoughtful, sustainable growth.
Led by an operator, not an investor.
As a 3x business builder, we offer your existing leadership team a unique perspective on customer-focused growth and implementing systems to scale.
We understand cash flow from leading finance during a critical $3B growth period prior to IPO.
Here's what happens to your team after you hand over the keys.
-
Growth creates jobs, and we value your team’s expertise. We celebrate internal promotions to preserve your unique right to win and the company’s culture.
-
We offer employee ownership to motivate the team to win together.
-
We step in as CEO, giving your team consistent, day-to-day leadership with a clear strategy from Day 1. There are no quick flips. It doesn’t work.
-
We invest in technology to make adding customers seamless and to keep them exceptionally happy. We learned this firsthand from our experience growing $1 to $10 billion in 5 years before starting Next Haven Group.

“Our patient capital allows for organic growth, preserving what makes the business unique while taking care of employees.”
