Who we are
Ilion Capital Partners exists to allocate both capital and talent to opportunities that others overlook. We are flexible to look at smaller or more complex deals than most other PE funds or search funds would consider, and count on our diligence and patience to pay off in the long run as we help grow the companies that we partner with.
Through an extensive network of advisors, investors, and former colleagues all over the country, we not only have rapid access to capital to fund our investments, but can also augment management teams where needed. This ensures that we can partner with companies to help them access the capabilities they need to continue building on the legacies that drew us to invest in them.
Because we are not investing a committed fund but rather have a network of investors ready to sponsor each deal individually, we are able to commit to a higher level of operational involvement than the traditional private equity firm.
Investment Criteria
A History of Success: We are looking for profitable companies with a strong history. We're not afraid of complex situations, but we are looking for a strong underlying business model, stable customers, and a market-leading product or service.
Under the Radar:We look for companies with EBITDA below $2M per year, and with revenues between $5M and $20M. We specifically look for "boring" B2B companies that provide necessary products or services to other businesses. This is because we believe our experience in these industries combined with our unique structure allows us to bring blue-chip investing and operating practices to lower middle market companies that others might have missed.
A Strong Team: For most companies we look at, the founder or owner is also the CEO. We look for situations where that CEO does not stand alone, but has built both a strong leadership team who are excited to continue in the next phase of the company's journey, and a positive and collaborative culture among all employees.
Opportunity to Add Value:Unlike some investors, our involvement doesn't end with writing a check. We like to roll up our sleeves and get into the operational details of companies we buy. Whether we get to implement new sales practices to grow the business, increase operational productivity, or help find new leadership, our skills, experience, and extensive network can help take companies to the next level.
