Where We Started

We founded Tenth Avenue Holdings in 2008 with the intent of combining our close friendships and a shared desire to build enduring value.

We have been fortunate with success to-date, but it will take another 20-30 years to find out exactly how we do against this objective. In the meantime, we are excited by the businesses we have started and partnered with thus far, the collaborative relationships built along the way, and the supportive and dynamic culture fostered.

Where We’re Going

We believe we are a preferred partner for business owners because we do not “rent” businesses for short-term gain.

Our passion is for long-term value creation that is rooted in relationships with founders and operators. Our capital is permanent and significant, making us an ideal and friendly environment to build and grow a company.

What We Look For

We are continually evaluating new acquisition opportunities in existing verticals at $10+ million in annual revenue and new verticals at $40+ million in annual revenue.

Businesses we understand with a relatively stable, recurring, diversified, and defensible revenue base.

When a good business is growing below its potential we see opportunity for investment. However, we are not seeking businesses in need of a turnaround.

Management in place at close; we are happy to assist with management transition plans.

Family-owned or closely held businesses with an interest in retaining equity to participate in future growth.

Code of Ethics

Our ability to create long-term value is rooted in how we live our values: caring, curiosity, integrity and fun within Tenth Avenue Holdings and across our holdings. All directors, officers, employees and contractors of Tenth Avenue Holdings and its holdings are expected to embrace the principles of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
