Building Durable ValueAt Inspirit, we don’t acquire businesses to optimize them for exit. We acquire them to build something that lasts.A permanent capital vehicle

A note from the founderOn freedom, and trust.

Inspirit is built around the pursuit of freedom: to think for ourselves, choose who we build with, and do what we believe is right for our businesses.

Permanent capital means we have no fund clock pushing us toward a sale. We don’t have to force a business to fit someone else’s timetable. We can ask a simpler question: what does this company need, and how can we help? Sometimes that means investing in growth. Sometimes it means being patient or working through a difficult year.

We take our companies’ futures personally. The freedom to stay invested gives us time to know each other, build trust, and work toward something that lasts.

We earn that trust by picking up the phone, having the hard conversations, and staying involved when things don’t go to plan. Our commitment is personal, and we intend to prove it through the work we do every day.

How we conduct ourselves

How we partner

  • Corporate divestitures

    A division that deserves to be its own company. We separate it, staff it, and stand it up.

  • Family transitions

    A business the family built and wants kept whole. We buy it, keep the name, and stay.

  • Special situations

    Complicated ownership, complicated capital, a deadline someone else set. We are not in a hurry.

  • Public to private

    A good company that has outgrown the quarter. We take it off the clock.

The companies we look after.
