I am a 25 year veteran investor / CEO. I began my career at Bain & Company and have split the past 20 years investing as a PE investor or as CEO in PE backed companies. Myself and two partners will directly fund any investment we make. We are looking to acquire a company that we would actively engage in as investors and as value add management. We are typically looking for "block and tackle" businesses and have experience in sectors such as distribution, real estate management, transportation, building materials and manufacturing.

Firms in the Los Angeles Search Funds directory are ordered based on recent deal activity on Axial. The default order reflects observed market signals rather than a subjective ranking of firm quality.

Each profile provides information about the firm’s areas of focus, transaction criteria, and relevant activity on Axial’s M&A platform. Together, these details provide a clearer view of where a firm is active and the types of companies and opportunities most relevant for it.

Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Los Angeles Search Funds is $3M-$13M, with a core EBITDA range of $800K-$3M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Location can be an important consideration, but it does not necessarily define where a firm is active. Firms based in Los Angeles may bring regional knowledge, local relationships, and experience with businesses in the area, while many also pursue opportunities across a broader geographic footprint. Geography is best considered alongside sector focus, company size, and relevant transaction activity.

Not necessarily. A firm’s location does not always define its geographic reach. Many Search Funds based in Los Angeles are active across multiple regions, while firms based elsewhere may also participate in the Los Angeles market. Location can provide useful context, but it should not be interpreted as a firm’s geographic boundary.

When comparing Search Funds in Los Angeles, consider factors such as sector focus, size range, and recent transaction activity. These characteristics vary across the 97 firms included in the directory and can help identify firms that align with your needs.

Axial can help you identify and connect with firms based on your objectives and what you are looking to accomplish. The process varies depending on your role and transaction needs. If you are interested in connecting with firms in the Los Angeles Search Funds directory, you can request information here.
