Cone 1.5x

Timberwind was founded to acquire a single company to operate and grow for many years. Our investors are successful operators with permanent capital.

We believe that well-managed businesses are key drivers of employment and the economy. With legacy in mind, our goal is to provide one private business and its owner(s) a route to succession that infuses a business with entrepreneurial talent backed by centuries of cumulative experience and the battle scars to prove it. We invest in healthy businesses with a focus is growth. We do not have strategic interests meaning we can't create "value" through blunt cost cutting. We retain your team and build on your success. Full stop.
