Alloy Roofing
Alloy Roofing is buying a national footprint without painting over the names on the trucks. Its wager is that local trust and centralized muscle can share the same roof.
Audax Group
Audax Group turned the unglamorous work of joining smaller businesses into an institutional playbook. More than 1,500 add-ons later, the Boston firm now spans control equity, private credit and bespoke mid-hold capital.
Peloton Capital Management
Peloton Capital Management is betting that the best middle-market businesses need a longer runway, not a faster flip. Its founder-first model has turned patient capital into an 11-company portfolio across healthcare, financial and consumer services.
Curb Home Services
Curb Home Services is assembling roofing, siding and solar contractors without sanding off their local identities. Its wager is that the best home-services platform will be almost invisible to the homeowner - and indispensable to the operator.
