For Stakeholders

Our CEO & Operating Partners are essential to the Focused Growth Partners, Inc. business model. It is FGP’s mission to partner with select CEOs, management teams, target companies and co-investors to expand the strategic direction and operational returns of acquisitions.

We’re the conduit between human capital and financial capital. With dedication to process, due diligence and rigor, we partner with experienced industry leaders with proven track records and distinct points of view to create exponential marketplace value.

FGP has partnered with CEO's and operating executives that have a compelling investment thesis. Each CEO has had more than a 20-year career in an industry and has demonstrated success in significantly increasing shareholder value on the businesses they have run. 

If you are a CEO interested in exploring the opportunity to partner with FGP, you are invited to contact Roland Dietz, our Chairman.

As a transaction represents a significant personal inflection point, we provide you with the control and options to structure the transaction to meet your goals and pursue your personal and business future as you wish.

Many business owners with whom we work have a strong desire for the continued growth and success of their company and for the security of their employees. We are not financial buyers seeking to build value by subtraction; rather, we build value by growth, both organic growth and through acquisitions. With our commitment to the real growth of your business, you will have the security that your legacy will be protected and your employees futures secure.

With deep domain and operating expertise, we don’t have to learn. We understand the industry challenges and opportunities, and have developed an investment strategy uniquely tailored to the industry sector.

Each of our industry sectors is led by a world-class senior industry executive with extensive operating experience and a track record of building businesses and creating value within the sector. In working with Focused Growth Partners, you work with operators; people who speak your language and have walked in your shoes. We also offer you the opportunity to reinvest a portion of the sale proceeds into the new company. Your choice.

Focused Growth Partners is not reliant on one single funding source; we are not tied to a template of investment criteria. We are in a position to evaluate each opportunity on its own merits. In addition to investing our own capital, our co-investment partners are highly successful professionals within private equity firms, hedge funds and family offices, as well as high-net-worth individuals who understand the power of the CEO-based vision.

We use the following framework in our investment decisions:

– Platform companies with revenues from $20 to $500 million, and EBITDAs of $3.5M or more.

– We target, but are not limited to, platform, as well as add-on investments in companies in:

• Information Technology
• Tech-Enabled Business services
• Media
• Professional Information Services

Our distinct competitive advantage comes from:

– An accomplished, industry-leading executive with relevant domain expertise and track record of success will create a distinct competitive advantage.

– A vetted, validated investment thesis that clearly articulates a significant opportunity in markets of particular interest to the co-investor.

Because we lead with the CEO's investment strategy, we are open to a wide selection of marketplace opportunities. In addition to a buy and-build strategy, we also focus on aggressive growth strategies, as well as turnarounds.

This list represents FGP’s overall requirements, but we are open to considering?investment opportunities outside of these criteria.

FGP nurtures trusted working relationships with the world’s leading investors. We conduct extensive research and leverage industry knowledge and contacts to generate proprietary deal flow and to identify platform companies with significant value creation potential.

FGP structures every transaction with the long-term success of the enterprise in mind. Our primary goal is to build a capital structure that will support growth and meet the challenges and opportunities of the company. FGP invests its own capital in every transaction. We have long-term relationships with a large number of institutional capital sources with whom we co-invest.

FGP provides our co-investors a fully assessed, industry-leading executive; a vetted, validated investment thesis; a proprietary platform company with high growth potential; other qualified co-investors; and a thoughtful operating pro forma.

FGP possesses the rigor necessary to create profitable, growth-oriented enterprises with a high probability of success. Along with our sector leaders, we work as a hands-on partner in the entire concept development and acquisition process, straight through until closing.

In addition, through trusted relationships with our sector leaders, FGP deploys human capital talent over a spectrum of needs including boards of directors, special advisors, and interim and permanent senior executive roles for portfolio organizations and beyond, as needed.
