Acquire. Innovate. Accelerate.
This allows us an indefinite investment horizon, and aligns our incentives with creating lasting outcomes through sustainable business practices.
We lead from the front, and play a significant operational role in all of our portfolio businesses.
We seek opportunities where we can create value by increasing topline revenue, not cutting costs. We leverage our in-house sales, marketing, and technology teams to transform our businesses through direct action, and average 160% topline revenue growth in the 24 months post-acquisition across our portfolio.
We start with the seller's desired outcome, and work backwards from there. Our diligence process is efficient, we run our quality of earnings and technical diligence in-house, and pride ourselves on transparency.
Post-acquisition, our in-house technology teams build and implement proprietary AI solutions to improve customer outcomes and streamline operational workflows.
Our in-house marketing teams optimize the website for conversion, and launch omnichannel digital and physical ad campaigns.
Our in-house sales team works to structure fruitful industry partnerships, convert prospective customers into long-term relationships, and establishes repeatable processes that can be scaled to drive sustainable growth.
Once the foundational business is on a solid growth trajectory, we begin acquiring add-on businesses to expand our scope of services, reach new geographies, and serve new industries.
“Show me the incentives,
and I'll show you the outcome.”
— Charlie Munger
Traditional Private Equity measures success by
Internal Rate of Return (IRR).
IRR is a function of time. The faster the exit,
the higher the return. Time is the enemy.
This incentivizes short term thinking:
extract value as quickly as possible, and exit the investment.
Cost cutting. Debt loading.
Short-term gains at the expense of long-term health.
We measure success differently.
We are a family office. No fund. No timeline.
No exit pressure.
Our only metric of success is building
indefinitely sustainable businesses.
Time is not our enemy.
It is our greatest asset.
We build for the long-term, always.
The businesses we acquire are built on decades of proven systems. We don't disrupt what works — we enhance it with proprietary technology and AI that makes every system smarter, every process more thorough, every response faster.
Our AI solutions aren't buzz words. They are developed hand-in-hand with the technicians, engineers, support staff, and operators that work in our businesses every day. The result is technology that actually works in the field.
If you are considering selling your business, we'd welcome the opportunity to meet with you and see if Virtus is a suitable long-term home.
