BACKGROUND
Cub Investments - led by Nick Haschka and Anu Sharma - is building a concentrated portfolio of direct private equity investments by taking majority positions in businesses we own and operate ourselves and minority poisitions in businesses being acquired and operated by operationally savvy external partners.
MAJORITY BUYOUTS
We are actively seeking out majority/outright equity ownership opportunities where will eventually be seeking to raise LP equity financing to acquire and grow a durably profitable California-based b2b services business focused on addressing one (or more) of the following four primary investment themes:
- Labor Shortage - thesis: supply the labor market with well-trained ready-to-work talent, the most critical scarce resource facing nearly every business
- Clean Water - thesis: provide valuable services to address quickly changing water resource needs
- Life Sciences R&D Facilities - thesis: provide essential services to California's booming life sciences R&D sector
- Millenial SMB Owner - theme: provide sticky and high value services to the fast growing segment of millenial small business owners
We are focused on finding businesses providing essential services into fast-growing and fast-changing segments. We like to see businesses that are highly professional, reliably profitable, and have a long operating history. We are looking for businesses requiring a new owner (in full or in part) to steward them and support a new phase of growth amidst overwhelming structural tailwinds propelling growth in its chosen market niche.
MINORITY EQUITY INVESTMENTS
We are actively sourcing LP equity opportunities to place investments with experienced, hands-on, entrepreneurs pursuing their own acquire and grow strategy analogous to our own Majority Buyout strategy and our experience growing businesses through acquisition.
