WHO WE ARE

PARKSTONE was founded in 2017 to provide business owners an alternative to traditional private equity and being acquired. We invest in businesses where an owner wants to CONTINUE GROWING, and is ready for outside help (in the form of capital and operating expertise) to achieve their company’s FULL POTENTIAL.

Our approach is straightforward: together as PARTNERS we develop a shared vision and operating plan that defines what our partnership will aim to accomplish. Parkstone’s responsibility is to provide STRATEGIC GUIDANCE, hands-on resources, and capital to support management in delivering the plan. Together, we will celebrate our successes or solve problems as they inevitably arise, always guided by our VALUES. That’s a Parkstone partnership.

OUR APPROACH

A PARKSTONE PARTNERSHIP is a commitment to mutual benefit, shared success, and hard work to solve problems together. Every partnership we enter into begins with a “SHARED VISION” for what we will build together and an “OPERATING PLAN” for how we will get there. This foundation provides: 1)  clear definition of success,  2) alignment on our roles and responsibilities, and  3)  framework for how we will work together through challenges and opportunities.
We serve in HANDS-ON operating roles in support of our companies in order to DRIVE FORWARD :
We focus exclusively in industries where we have deep EXPERIENCE, RELATIONSHIPS and KNOWLEDGE from having been operators ourselves.
