Apex Acquisition Fund I
Introducing Apex Acquisition Fund I, a closed-end equity fund designed for a strategic 7-year investment horizon.
-
Target Investments: The fund is dedicated to financing self-directed and self-funded "Searchers" in their acquisition pursuits of already profitable small businesses. The small business sector, with its distinct value proposition, offers sale multiples significantly lower than the broader private market.
-
Strategy: Leveraging our expertise in operating and scaling small businesses, we aim to foster growth through additional acquisitions and strategic investments. Once these holdings surpass $3 million in EBITDA, they experience a substantial increase in value, representing a 2x step-up in equity value, fueled by both organic and inorganic growth.
-
Value Add: Our focus is on businesses where we can leverage our personal networks and experience to make a meaningful impact. Further value is generated as we establish advisory boards and forums for company operators, fostering collaboration in addressing shared challenges.
-
Net Investor Returns: Apex Acquisition Fund I is working toward a 28 - 35% Net IRR for our investors. We work to achieve these returns by partnering with top flite Searchers to find profitable businesses in defensible niches. Acquired with leverage, scaled with intelligence, and exited strategically.
