Building Exceptional Companies

We are a private investment firm focused on partnering with founder and family-owned businesses in their pursuit of growth

Our Role

Four Count Holdings was founded with the goal of providing an alternative to traditional private equity solutions for lower-middle market businesses looking to scale. Put simply, we believe our role as an owner is about more than simply writing a check, our role is to be an aligned and active partner that stewards the business for long-term growth and sustainability

  • Our investor base is comprised of high-net-worth individuals that share our view of investing for the long-term, allowing us the flexibility to make the right decision regardless of the time horizon…this doesn’t mean all our investments must be long-term holds, but rather that we intentionally maintain that optionality

  • We believe that the right deals don’t require complex structuring or financial engineering to generate compelling returns, so we work to keep our deals simple and maximize alignment amongst all stakeholders, specifically our management teams

  • We leverage our investment experience and connections from a wide variety of industries and transactions to come alongside your team and help define strategy, connect with trustworthy resources and pursue the value-add opportunities that often fall outside of your team’s day-to-day job titles

  • Much like our namesake, we believe in a disciplined rhythm of growing businesses. We focus on identifying opportunities with shared vision, building an aligned strategy, getting the right people on the bus and then creating value by aggressively pursuing strategic initiatives as a team
