Founded by Van and Abbey East, East Holdings focuses on strategic acquisitions that align with their mission of maintaining the heritage of the businesses they acquire.

Ideally, the business operates in a fragmented industry with recurring revenue, low customer concentration, and stable historical cash flow.

I bring both capital and hands-on operating experience, with a long-term commitment to steward the company and its people.
