We re-energize your companies purpose, mission and vision with a team of dedicated growth experts, new leadership and valuable shared resources.
Portfolio collaboration makes Soilworks greater than the sum of its parts. It puts businesses in a strong position to succeed. We use low to no debt and reinvest every dollar of profit back into growth.
What you do with your proceeds is up to you. Team up with us to achieve your company's next phase of growth, or start the next venture that you have been dreaming of.
“We had always been positioning our company to sell and we found the perfect partner in Soilworks.”
Finding great people is one of the biggest challenges growing companies face, so it's actually important to us that yours are a part of our future. We don't force anyone to relocate to San Antonio (though we would love to have them!) and operate multiple businesses with offices in other locations.
Once you're ready, we can move fast given that we look at businesses with similar dynamics every day, and we have a straight-forward and standard set of legal and diligence requests. Generally, any slow-down is on the company side as they prepare diligence information they may not have on hand. First call to term sheet can be as quick as 2 weeks, and from term sheet to close, between 30 and 60 days, on average.
We have acquired companies in the U.S. and internationally, and will continue to do business wherever we can find great companies. Post-investment or acquisition, we do prefer our companies to have critical mass in or around San Antonio, Texas; however, we are supportive of wherever businesses do business best.
No, you don’t. We see Soilworks as the next phase of growth in a company’s evolution, and believe that scaling a company from $0–5m in ARR requires a different skillset than taking one from $5–20m, so a fresh perspective with more experience in the latter can be beneficial. That being said, founders have invaluable knowledge and we are thrilled if founders would like to stay on in a functional role (for example, CTO, CMO, etc.). However, historically many we have worked with have a new role or project in mind.
Like most private equity investors, we value companies on a number of metrics, the important being scale and growth. Others considerations include customer base profile, gross margin, profitability, funnel metrics, and position in the market.
