About Us
Yellowhammer Strategic Partners, founded in 2021, is an East Coast-based long-term private investment vehicle seeking to acquire and operate a closely-held lower middle-market business generating <$3.0 million in EBITDA within either the light manufacturing, value-added distribution or B2B services industries. We provide an efficient and discreet closing process for owners facing succession issues and employ a “Legacy Preservation” approach to our acquisition and operations frameworks. Our Principals have complementary backgrounds in Fortune 100 Operations / FP&A and Investment Banking and bring a unique blend of operations, M&A and corporate finance skills to the table with strong general business acumen. YSP has assembled a deep team of Senior Advisors consisting of folks with extensive operations and investing experience to assist with deal execution and post-close operations strategy if called upon.
Yellowhammer Differentiation
Two best friends seeking an established company to operate and grow for the long term
Dynamic Leadership Team
Not only are Cole Jack best friends, but we have complementary backgrounds spanning investment banking, corporate FP&A, commercial RE, private equity, start up strategy and small business operations.
People-First Culture
This business will be our single professional priority, and any business is only as strong as the people working for it We believe that culture, talent and alignment are critical and will treat your employees as such.
Ownership Mindset
We set out on this journey to acquire, operate and own a single small business for the long-term and we plan to relocate to your headquarters with our wife and fiancé upon the closing of a transaction.
No Predetermined Exit Timeline
Despite having investor support, we are entrepreneurs at heart and are seeking to find a single company to operate and grow for decades to come, rather than flip the business in 3 5 years to PE.
Diverse Network of Capital Providers
YSP is not a private equity firm However, we are supported by a deep bench of long term investors and operators that will be providing us with “patient capital” to fund the acquisition.
Legacy
Preservation
Post deal, we will conduct company operations with the same sense of stewardship and dedication as the previous owner We will do everything we can to prove the business is in good hands
