We are Ethan and Ryan Zeplin, two brothers with backgrounds in investment banking and private equity. Both graduates of the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, we bring a strong foundation in financial analysis, deal execution, and strategic growth. We’re now focused on acquiring and operating a small-to-medium-sized business where we can create long-term value through hands-on ownership and thoughtful, sustainable improvements.
Acquisition Criteria
Industry: Business services, consumer services, niche manufacturing, or light industrial (open to other recession-resistant sectors)
Location: U.S.-based (preference for Northeast, specifically NY, NJ, CT and near NYC)
EBITDA: $750K – $1.5M
Ownership: Majority control
Transition: Open to seller staying on during a defined transition period
Our Approach
We’re long-term, operator-minded buyers looking to preserve the legacy of a business while enhancing its growth through operational efficiencies, marketing, and technology enablement. We’re backed by our own capital and a network of committed investors, and we’re ready to move quickly on the right opportunity.
We look forward to connecting with sellers and advisors who share our vision.
