Building Enduring Businesses

We have a deep appreciation for the challenges business owners and founders face when operating and growing their businesses. We bootstrapped Access ourselves and can empathize with the challenges of working in and working on a business. We appreciate that business owners and entrepreneuners work daily "in" the business to serve customers and support employees. This limits the amount of time that owners have to work “on” the business - building capabilities and advancing offerings. We believe that being a great partner requires us to bring more than capital to the table. We must offer deep experience regarding digital tools and how to advance strategy and functional capabilities that allow a business to scale. We believe so strongly in our responsibility to bring resources that we have built a resource center for our platform companies to support the scaling and innovation of their businesses. The Access Acceleration Center ("A2C") provides our platform company partners and their teams capabilities such as digital lead generation, advanced analytics, talent recruitment, strategic planning, functional expertise, and much more to achieve our shared vision.

We seek to execute high-velocity M&A and organic growth initiatives designed to grow our businesses and gain competitive advantage from operational scale and density. At the same time, we put in place the business scaffolding needed to support that growth, including talented leadership and scalable functions, processes, and systems.

We seek to create market leading platforms that set the innovation agenda in their industry. We believe in the transformative power of utilizing technologies with value – such as digital customer engagement and experience and business analytics. We believe businesses need modern systems architecture to advance and become contemporary operators. In the highly fragemented industries where we tend to invest, we often find that contemporary digital tools are not broadly adopted.

We also apply our mission of building enduring businesses to ourselves. We are working to build a contemporary private equity firm, using innovative digital tools to automate workflows, prioritize investment ideas, source new opportunities, enhance engagement with our stakeholders, and analyze data to help both us and our platform company partners make better decisions faster.
