INVESTMENT CRITERIA
What We Look For
At Slipstream Management Partners, we seek to acquire and grow established businesses with strong fundamentals and real staying power. We are long-term, hands-on investors committed to honoring the legacy of what founders have built—while unlocking the next phase of growth. We provide certainty, efficiency, and continuity in every transaction.
Financial Profile
We look for healthy, cash-flow positive businesses with proven track-records. A few of our preferred target parameters are:
- $500K–$4M in EBITDA
- In business 5+ years
- Profitable with a history of stable cash flows
- Limited capital expenditure requirements
- Limited customer concentration
Industry Focus
We have an industry agnostic investment approach, as we’re more concerned with the company and its people than the industry it operates in. Below is a non-exhaustive list of industries where we’ve identified attractive opportunities:
- Business services
- Niche manufacturing
- Specialty distribution
- Technology-enabled services
- Other fragmented or undercapitalized industries with strong growth potential
Business Attributes
Quality businesses come in different shapes and sizes. We would love the opportunity to learn more about what makes yours unique. Some of the characteristics we look for are:
- Recurring or highly predictable revenue streams
- Established customer base with strong relationships
- Differentiated product or service offering
- Strong operational foundation with room for growth
Transaction Types
We aim to be the ideal buyer for founders and business owners looking to pass their business onto the next steady pair of hands.
- Owner seeking to transition the management of their business
- Founder looking for a liquidity event to recognize the value that they’ve created
- While our primary focus is full buyouts, we may consider structured transitions or minority investments in rare, strategic cases.
