Our Approach: Concentrated Portfolio
Atlasview’s approach is to build and manage a highly concentrated holding of only the best businesses we come across over a long period of time. Great businesses are rare, and we want to be patient in our search for homerun opportunities. As well, a concentrated portfolio allows us to spend more time with each portfolio company.
Our Investment Criteria 🎯
We look for the following characteristics in our partner companies:
Industry: Software and tech-enabled businesses
Business Profile: Sticky B2B customer base
Size: Minimum $1m EBITDA or $5m ARR
Geography: The US & Canada
Whether you’re a business owner interested in working with us, or an intermediary with a deal to share, always feel free to reach out and get in touch with us!
Market Chatter: Best Books On Distressed M&A & LBOs
The following is a list of 25 books on distressed M&A and LBOs from Jeff Sands.
As interest rates rise and the economy continues to cool down, opportunities will emerge in abundance and these books may come in handy. Our team has added some to our 2023 reading lists.
One might argue that most businesses are actually in a default period of distress with brief moments of prosperity. So these are worth the read!
