Investment Strategy
The Northstar investment philosophy is focused on partnering with strong management teams in entrepreneur-owned businesses. Northstar believes that strong management teams are vital to establishing leadership in an industry. We like fragmented and newly developed markets. Our goal is to develop market leaders through targeted growth opportunities.
We focus on opportunities where our experience and abilities as well as our operating skills will allow us to add value. Once we have identified an attractive opportunity, our small size and flat operating structure enable us to rapidly evaluate the opportunity and close a transaction. When we evaluate opportunities, we constantly look for an edge that will set the investment apart and provide a sustainable competitive advantage to differentiate in a market. This competitive advantage is driven by the needs of the clients we serve.
Our approach involves partnering with a company’s management teams, aligning our financial interests, and providing the backing and expertise to help our investments succeed and grow. We help our partners develop a vision, mission and go-to-market strategy. Our past investments have demonstrated our ability to create value by focusing on the following areas:
Revenue growth, organically and through additional acquisitions to create scale
Improving operating efficiencies within the business, combining businesses and leveraging synergies and scale economies
Understanding and enhancing value for the clients our businesses serve
Retention and development of key staff
Northstar believes that success can only be guaranteed with a strong leadership team which we incentivize by providing them a stake in the business. In addition, we believe in setting clear vision and business objectives empowering the management team and staff to take charge and accelerate the success of the business.
