Red Nest Partners

With more than 25 years of experience investing in, supporting, advising, owning & operating small companies, we have a strong appreciation for the opportunities and challenges faced by small business owners. RedNest Partners invests exclusively in small, privately-held companies. We employ a patient approach aimed at building sustainable businesses with long-term growth prospects. Short-term decision-making and chasing quarterly results run contrary to building real value. RedNest supports managers in delivering value for all stakeholders in a business: customers, employees, managers, and investors. How We Work We work with management to establish specific, clear, and measurable goals. Widespread reward for achievement facilitates a transparent dialogue, alignment of interests, and collective success among all Company constituents. Patience and a long-term strategic approach are required for sustainable value creation and maximization. The long-term vitality and growth of portfolio companies is our principal focus. While we believe in the benefits of leverage, we employ prudent capital structures to take advantage of those benefits without putting companies at unnecessary risk.
