Introduction & Investment Approach
I am part of a family-led acquisition and operating team with deep experience owning, operating, scaling, and successfully exiting established, asset-backed businesses, complemented by my own background leading growth, automation, and technology strategy at a high-growth company.
My father, Nathan J. Lindenbaum, spent over 35 years as an owner-operator and executive in small and mid-sized businesses. He began his career as a software engineer and later led our family’s propane distribution companies, serving as President of Propane Power Corp. and Modern Gas Service Corp.
Over three decades, he oversaw all aspects of a multi-state, multi-facility operation with approximately 100 employees, unionized labor, a fleet of 50 vehicles, and significant regulatory and safety complexity. Under his leadership, the business grew profitably, improved operational, safety, and compliance metrics year over year, and ultimately sold to a public energy services company in 2010. Nathan served as lead negotiator on the transaction, working directly with the buyer and investment bankers.
In addition to managing MGS and PPC, Nathan acquired, redeveloped, managed, and exited a portfolio of light industrial real estate, overseeing sourcing, redevelopment, leasing, and dispositions.
Since exiting the propane business, Nathan has focused on investing and family office management. He has served as a board member, treasurer, and president of several nonprofit organizations, guiding financial strategy, budgeting, and endowment management. His experience in finance, contract negotiation, and scalable operations has made him a trusted advisor and long-term partner to entrepreneurs and organizations.
I bring a complementary skill set focused on growth, modernization, and operational leverage. I am currently a Product Lead at a Series A software company, where I have worked across product, sales, marketing, operations, and AI development. I joined the company three years ago at approximately $50K in ARR and have been part of every stage of growth to over $5M in ARR today. I personally led sales through the first $1M in revenue, hired and scaled go-to-market and customer success teams, and remain closely involved in strategy, operations, and execution.
I have sold to and supported enterprise customers including Instacart, Salesforce, OpenAI, and PwC. My work centers on using software, data, automation, and process design to unlock growth in otherwise strong businesses and to reduce owner dependence over time.
We also have a strong network of operators and advisors across finance, supply chain, procurement, logistics, and hiring, allowing us to move quickly and thoughtfully when investing in a business.
We bring a combination of capital, operational competence, and respect for what they’ve built. We have cash on hand to complete a transaction, as well as capital to invest in growth, allowing us to move efficiently when aligned on the right opportunity. We approach acquisitions as long-term stewards, not short-term financial engineers: we value continuity, cultural fit, and the people who make a business run. Having operated and grown family-owned businesses ourselves, we understand the importance of preserving legacy while thoughtfully modernizing systems, processes, and go-to-market capabilities to support the next chapter. We are flexible on structure, open to seller involvement where helpful, and committed to fair, transparent, and straightforward negotiations.
What We’re Looking For
Together, my father and I are seeking to acquire an established, profitable company where we can be thoughtful long-term stewards—respecting what already works while applying modern tools, automation, and disciplined growth strategies to support the next chapter of the business. We are flexible on industry but prefer something that relates to a material good (i.e. will not buy a pure software business), value existing teams, and are open to retaining and investing in current employees. We are based in New York but able to travel as needed.
