Our Beliefs

Business is the most enjoyable game in the world

Invest in hard-to-kill companies

Profit first, growth comes second

Investors in lifestyle businesses

Who we are:

Smash Ventures is a group investors providing equity capital to entrepreneurs acquiring solid companies. Whether you’re a self-funded search fund pursuing the ETA model, an independent sponsor rolling up an industry, or want to sell a minority stake in your company to diversify your net worth… No matter, we’d love to chat.

We aren’t venture capitalists hunting unicorns, we are not a fund with LPs, and we are not aiming for growth at all costs. Instead, it is best to consider Smash an experienced potential long-term partner for you and your business, focused on a healthy work-life balance and a profit-first mentality.

We are happy to partner with any business that meets our criteria, from a local towing company to a fast-growing SaaS.

Note* we do not invest in unprofitable startups. We are not a VC firm.

Types of deals we invest in

  • Self-funded searchers using SBA financing
  • Minority equity sales from owners
  • Traditional search funds
  • Independent sponsors
  • Partner buyouts

How we work:

After finding the ideal target, we write the check, offer (but not force) to bring in our experienced marketers to help the business grow post-close, and then stay out of your way and let you do what you do best: run the business how you see fit.

We can work with original founders, those looking to acquire a business, or someone looking for a co-investor alongside SBA funding. We’re flexible as long as the company is solid and generates cash.
