STONEHELM GROUP
Entrepreneurs First, Investors Second
We are entrepreneurs who happen to be investors. Our background in building and operating businesses gives us a unique perspective: we understand the challenges, sacrifices, and opportunities that come with ownership. Unlike traditional firms, we’re backed by permanent, family capital. That means no pressure to flip investments, raise the next fund, or chase short-term results. We think in decades, not quarters.
Why We're Special
We’ve spent our careers starting, running, and growing companies. As investors we've built families of businesses we will own and grow for decades, not flip in a few years.
-
We have entrepreneurial roots – as operators we understand what it takes to build and run a business, not just value one.
-
We have patient, permanent capital – we are investors with family-backed funds and no pressure to sell, who think in decades, not quarters.
-
We are partners who prioritize team development, customer relationships, and long-term growth.
-
We are not just a buyer, but a true steward for what you’ve built.
What We Like
We partner with elite recurring revenue businesses led by exceptional entrepreneurs in niche, inefficient markets.
What We Do
We partner with companies to make smooth, lasting transitions and unlock their next stage of growth. Whether it’s a privately-owned business ready for new leadership or a corporate carveout, we focus on guiding teams through change and scaling with confidence.
We work with business owners through one of the most important transitions of their lives: selling their company. Our mission is to connect with exceptional businesses. We are investors who think like entrepreneurs, not financial engineers. Selling your business is more than a transaction—it’s a legacy decision.
