One of the single, most important decisions in an entrepreneurs journey is to make the decision to bring on a capital partner. Whether you are looking for capital to grow, acquire, recapitalize or looking for a management buyout, there are so many questions that you will have. So many emotions and so many thoughts running through your mind. We know because we experienced all of them first-hand. Once you make that decision, the next question is who do you partner with and what are my options?
PEMM Capital is a different type of Private Equity firm. PEMM Capital is a team of Entrepreneurs that have a single, fundamental belief of learning from experiences. Our team consists of true, successful entrepreneurs and operators in North American who have experience building their own companies from the ground up. We “get our hands dirty” because that is where the REAL business challenges are rooted. We will work closely with your executive team, and/or any level of your business to make your goals come to life! We enjoy bringing our experience and challenging your business.
Now, let’s not kid ourselves, operator experience is great and very important, but so is the CAPITAL! Another fundamental difference of PEMM Capital is that we build a custom model to achieve the goals of your business on your schedule. Our capital comes from our own family office and other high-net worth individuals who believe in the Entrepreneurial journey. A group of likeminded individuals who trust their capital and back PEMM with any engagement we are involved with. Why? They believe in what we do and how we get involved to support the business! This gives us the flexibility to build a custom model that is not tied to a timeframe or a fund.
