About
About Waxman Ventures
Welcome to the world of Waxman Ventures, where we redefine private equity and long term ownership. Our family has a history of acquiring vertically agnostic businesses and scaling them to international scale. Whether you’re a family-owned company or a solo operator – we have partnered and grown companies leveraging our unique experience building our own companies. We are not private equity; we are a family-run operating company that has scaled multiple companies to nine figures of revenue. We take an unconventional and contrarian approach to acquiring and building. Our companies run independently, but benefit from the holding company resources for all of their needs.
Our Multipronged Approach to Value
Our approach to value creation is company and industry specific. A license and maintenance software company might be under pressure to move to a SaaS model and would benefit from our software engineering resources. Whereas, a specialty manufacturing company would benefit from our sourcing and multi-channel GTM resources and relationships. We take a hyper-regional approach to scaling, while keeping the big picture in mind for each company. Scaling is nuanced, and we thrive in the nuance together.
Selling Your Business
Selling your business is a critical and complicated decision. As a family-run company, we treat each conversation, demo, financial document with care, like family.
We care about your legacy, your brand, your team, your customers, and your company’s future. When proceeding in a sale, we work with sellers on a collaborative approach to the future. Each sale is different. We know that. We spend years building relationships with operators, and when the time comes – we strive to be one of the first calls when you are ready to sell.
