T72 - Core Competencies and Areas of Specialization:
Oversight and Management – How?
Oversight and management effort makes up as one of the most important functions at T72. Among other support work, we strive to walk a young company’s executive staff through best practices in strategic planning, operations, and financial management. Additionally, we help institutionalize best practices with new accounting, procurement, HR, Marketing, Sales, Client Management, and IT systems to increase the value of their investment.
This is our primary source of value creation in private equity (PE), though private equity (PE) firms also create value by aiming to align the interests of company management with those of the firm and its investors.
By scaling acquired companies, we remove the constant public scrutiny of earnings pressure and reporting requirements, which then allows them and the acquired firm’s management to take a longer-term approach in bettering the fortunes of the company.
Investing in an Upside – Why?
Our exit strategy focuses on improving middle-market companies for larger collaborations benefiting all stakeholders. While big investment banking often overlooks the middle and lower-middle markets, we see these as underserved areas with high potential. We utilize our expertise to manage deals in this space, helping businesses grow by cultivating international sales channels or encouraging industry consolidation.
In Venture Investment Buyouts, even profitable businesses may struggle to scale or provide a soft landing for venture investors. T72 provides the right solution, treating your company with respect and ensuring its successful transition.
In Employee Retention, T72 supports cash-out preferences of original stakeholders while creating opportunities for fresh talent. This dual approach cultivates significant growth and positive returns.
This is how the companies we usually buy look like:
High profit margins
Growing and profitable ($500K-$10M)
Been operational for 2 years or more
A team that collaborates closely and is also empowered to make decisions
An easy to explain business model
