We invest in multi-generational companies with strong cash flows, committed teams, and happy repeat customers.
Knight Investment Group is an entrepreneurial investment company founded to buy, build, and invest in category-leading small and mid-sized businesses with attractive long-term growth prospects. Unlike traditional private equity firms, we intend to own our best partner companies for the long term rather than pursuing a 3- to 5-year exit cycle.
We believe the best partnerships require real engagement. When we invest in a company, we commit to joining our partners in the trenches to help them achieve the excellence they aspire to.
We do not intend to simply helicopter in for quarterly board meetings. When the opportunity calls for it, we will roll up our sleeves and operate alongside management as day-to-day leaders.
Beyond the businesses we control and operate, we also invest passively alongside other investors and operators we trust through Search Funds, independent sponsor transactions, and other ETA vehicles.
Stable earnings are more important than unsustainable growth ambitions.
We aim to be straightforward, fair, and aligned with the seller's long-term interests.
We grow businesses with strong foundations by investing extensively in people and systems.
We are not bound by an artificial investment horizon — we can own partner companies for as long as it makes sense.
We seek established businesses with proven economics, committed teams, and satisfied customers.
