Syrus Partners

About Syrus Partners

We invest in great businesses for an uncommonly long period. Our investments usually fall into one of these categories: —Entrepreneur You’ve built a great business from the ground up. It’s profitable (between $500k and $3m), but you want to take some chips off the table or sell the business and move on. —Expansion You've got a durable market position and proven profitability, and you need capital to grow or acquire. —Liquidity You’ve got a co-founder who wants to leave, early employees who want to cash out, or a large shareholder who needs to exit and you want to add a friendly face. We look for: ▪ Proven track record (more than 3 years) ▪ Profits (between $500k - $10m) ▪ High Margins ▪ Good returns on capital (not a lot of debt) ▪ A simple business model that your parents would understand ▪ A history of fair dealings with customers, employees, and vendors ▪ We’re ok with you sticking around, leaving, or transitioning over time.
