Buying and operating some of the best small businesses in America.
We’re building an enviable cash-generating return stream for investors through a diversified family of small businesses known for their excellence and commitment to the long-term flourishing of their employees and communities.
We believe small business entrepreneurs are the unsung heroes of the American economy.
Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in our country—and provide the goods and services their communities need. We offer small business owners the opportunity for an exit that safeguards their legacy. And we offer investors access to this differentiated asset class of cash-flow generating small businesses.
What Makes Us Different:
We have a long-term-hold mentality.
When we buy a business, we think long-term. We aren't trying to 'buy-and-flip.' Our long-term capital gives us the freedom to do what is right for the company, regardless of the timeframe.
We do good deals with good people.
We want to do win-win deals with business owners who care about their legacy and their people. We care about who we work with and we want them to get a fair price and have a great outcome.
We buy healthy companies and help them grow.
We have a systematic approach to running small businesses. We hire great people and give them freedom to operate. We supplement them with best in class resources. And we implement an EOS management approach.
Our Portfolio
Our companies are committed to excellence, profitability, and the long-term flourishing of their employees and communities.
What We Strive For:
Building a world where small businesses flourish.
At Saturn Five, we believe business is an adventure—and we love helping ideas, companies, and people get to bold new places. We do that by buying and operating main street companies that elevate people’s lives and enhance communities. We believe this is a redemptive alternative to traditional private equity.
Our business is powered every day by these five principles:
Value 01
Adventure
We have a bias toward action, believing that sometimes the best path to answering a question is to try an answer out. We operate by the motto "Be curious, not judgmental".
Value 02
Joy
Life is too short to not do work you love or to not love the people you work with. We laugh everyday, at ourselves and with each other. We experience joy through building something good together.
Value 03
Trust
Trust is our highest value. Investors trust us with their money. Business owners trust us with stewarding their legacies. Employees trust us with their careers. We want to be worthy of that trust, always honoring our word, telling the truth, and playing the long game.
Value 04
Excellence
We bring our very best effort because we want to be the best at what we do. Businesses that win over the long run have to be excellent. So we set a high bar for quality. We hustle. We ask our people to go the extra mile and create truly special experiences and products for customers.
Value 05
Love
We want every deal we do to be a win-win—whether that is with a business seller, a customer, an investor, or an employee. We look to serve where we can rather than to be served. Knowing that no one is perfect, we acknowledge that we will sometimes fail and others will sometimes fail us. In those moments we will seek to forgive and to humbly ask for forgiveness.
