We are data and operationally focused investors. Our acquisition playbook enables us to quickly determine if a target can be realistically scaled to achieved the desired cashflow and profitability. If a company passes the initial screening, we move to a formal diligence phase which includes tapping our talent bench to identify the right CEO who partners with us to formulate and stress test a growth thesis. This ensures that the new CEO is ready to hit the ground running post close. See 514equitygroup.com/strategy/ for more information.
