ADDING VALUE

We seek to add value to our portfolio companies by providing financial and human capital.

The management teams of our portfolio companies operate with autonomy, and we do not desire to be involved in day-to-day operations. Rather, our value-added comes in the form of: 

• BOARD-LEVEL SUPPORT acting as a “sounding board” for strategic and operational initiatives.
• TARGETED ANALYTICAL SUPPORT leveraging Whitestone’s operational and consulting expertise.
• ACCESS TO OUR NETWORK OF RELATIONSHIPS
• GROWTH CAPITAL to support organic and acquisition growth initiatives.

In addition, we assist those portfolio companies seeking to grow through acquisition by leveraging our expertise in identifying, negotiating and completing add-on acquisitions.

We believe strongly in maintaining open and effective communications with our management teams, investors and lenders. Our goal is to partner with the management of successful businesses where the experience of our team combined with capital from our funds can be leveraged to increase profitability.

Your business, your culture. You deserve a private equity firm that respects that. At Whitestone, we believe in aligning our interests with those of the management team at each company. As such, we do not use an operating partner model—we don’t “parachute” Whitestone employees into your company post-closing to run operations. Instead, we serve as active board members, providing management teams with the flexibility to operate and preserve their unique company culture.
