> Founder & Managing Director at Enduring Ventures.

I’m the Founder & Managing Director at Enduring Ventures, a long term holding company. We buy beautiful businesses and hold them forever. 

I’ve founded six venture backed businesses, acquired 24 companies, sold two businesses, raised over $300 million in debt & equity. 

Quote from one entrepreneur I advised:
“Hey. First time distributed profits from my company after growing it for 8 years.

My share is $110k, Never saw so much money in my life. All started from your question: “why don’t you make it profitable and hold it forever” when I told you I’m growing to sell it.

I didn’t hear you and kept going. We lost 30% of revenue and kept spending. Wasted over $1M on nothing and could have distributed it.

Never going back to this. All I care about now is to build a business that will generate cash for decades.”

I am the most helpful for entrepreneurs in tricky situations (down rounds, recapitalizations, co-founder drama, etc) and for acquisition entrepreneurs who want to build their own holding companies or acquire businesses. 

I can teach you how to buy businesses with millions in cash flow for no money down. 

I can teach you how to build your own “baby Berkshire” cash flow wealth creation engine. 

Most entrepreneurs don’t really understand the incentives of private equity and venture capital. I do, and have helped founders buy back companies they founded or renegotiate their cap tables.
