Why our investment process is different

You’ve probably experienced investment proposals and business partners that don’t meet your expectations. We’ve created an investment process that ensures you get the valuation, capital and partner you need and deserve. Our Business Ownership PlatformSM ensures we only build and invest in businesses when we have mutually aligned long-term goals. It also ensures our respective roles in achieving those goals are crystal clear.

When investing capital, GroundSwellSM “de-risks” our relationship with you before we invest with our rigorous yet efficient onboarding process.

We also play an integral part of your long-term team after our investment.

If GroundSwellSM doesn’t meet the valuation you want, we’ll provide a clear path and partnership to get you the valuation/price you deserve. Then we’ll commit to invest at your desired valuation when you get there.

“GroundSwellSM was a better long-term partner than I could have ever imagined. We worked together in the trenches to an incredibly successful exit versus them just telling me what do at board meetings.”
