What can you expect from us?

For the DGA

We can do the following:

  • Purchase the complete takeover of your company.
  • Pre-exit: we purchase a stake in your company and together we will accelerate growth of the business, on our way to a full exit within a 2-4 year period.
  • Invest in your company in order to execute a buy & build strategy; we then acquire other companies that will accelerate growth of your company and add significant strategic value.
  • Be the preferred investor partner to take majority control and provide succession, especially in family businesses.  We take into account the interests of all shareholders.
    For the MBO entrepreneur

    At Summit Strive, you get more than capital; you get a partner who stands beside you, at every stage of your ownership journey. We help you make your investment into the business a reality.
