About Us.
Fenix Venture is a strategic investment firm that specializes in acquiring and scaling profitable, mid-
stage companies owned by baby boomers nearing retirement. With many owners lacking succession
plans, we offer a unique solution that prioritizes the well-being of their employees, preserves the
legacy of their businesses, and ensures a smooth transition.
Why Business Owners Sell to Us:
Desire to Take Care of Employees.
Owners who have built their companies over decades often feel deep loyalty to their employees. Fenix prioritizes employee job security and benefits, contrasting with the layoffs or restructuring often seen in private equity acquisitions. By choosing us, owners know their team will be valued and protected during and after the transition.
Involvement in the Transition and Future Growth.
Fenix allows business owners to remain involved during the transition, offering seller financing options that let them participate in the next phase of growth. This approach allows owners to guide leadership, ensuring a smooth handoff and a vested interest in the company’s future success, without the pressure of a complete exit.
Preserving the Owner’s Legacy.
We understand that a business is more than just an asset — it’s the embodiment of the owner’s life’s work and identity. Baby boomer business owners often hesitate to sell to private equity firms due to concerns about preserving the company’s mission, culture, and long-term vision. At Fenix, we ensure the legacy of the business remains intact by maintaining the company’s values and ethos, rather than pursuing short-term profit motives.
Long-Term Stability Over Short-Term GainsFuture Growth.
Our approach to acquisitions focuses on steady, sustainable growth. Seller financing ties the business’s future performance directly to the final payout, encouraging both parties to prioritize long-term stability.Unlike private equity, we avoid aggressive cost-cutting, instead fostering a healthy, stable business that continues to grow steadily post-acquisition.
Fenix Venture’s hands-on leadership and operational expertise ensure that the businesses we acquire not only maintain their foundational values but thrive in the long term. We are committed to
preserving the legacy of the companies we acquire while driving their growth, creating a future both owners and employees can feel proud of.
