We are an experienced wife and husband team backed by world-class investors looking to acquire, and then operate, a growing business with operating profits >$2 million. If you are a business owner ready to move on to the next phase of your life, we believe we offer a compelling and unique way to recognize financial value for what you have created.
Who we are
We are a wife and husband team who have operated and/or founded multiple businesses together. The largest company we operated has revenues of >$100M and ~1000 direct/indirect employees. Prior to our careers in the small business space, Sarah and I worked in strategy consulting (The Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co) and both earned MBAs from Stanford University (Class of ’04).
Why sell to us
We will allow you to unlock the financial value you have created, while also providing you with confidence that you are entrusting your company to people who will look after it. We have sold shares and raised capital for businesses ourselves so we know what it feels like to go through the process from an owner’s side. We are committed to closing a transparent and fair deal for all parties. We are fortunate to be backed by a world-class group of investors in this venture.
What we are looking for
We are looking to acquire a stable growing business with operating profits of >$2.0M. Ideally the company will have a high degree of recurring revenue and will not be capital intensive. We are open to any opportunity that meets our criteria but are particularly interested in acquiring a business in the healthcare, education, health and wellness or tech-enabled business services industry.
Why we founded Ridgeway
To acquire, and then operate, a company where: we believe in and are excited by the ‘why’; there is a clear investment thesis; we will be successful; we will enjoy doing what it takes to lead the company; and we can live in an environment we want to raise our boys in and love our next adventure together.
