INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS

Cambria Group
The Cambria Group is a private investment company, which acquires and invests in small and mid-sized businesses – generally, quality businesses with established operating histories, and typically with revenues of under $50 million. Cambria has completed over 25 investments since its founding in 1996, investing across a wide range of industries, including the low-tech manufacturing, distribution and service sectors. The firm differentiates itself in two ways – first, in that each of the firm’s three principals has both operating and financial experience, and, second, in that principals provide the majority of the equity for each transaction personally. These distinctions allow the firm to add value both in the acquisition effort and in building value in the companies in which it invests; to make decisions quickly and without uncertainty as to its source of capital; and to accommodate a long-term perspective with respect to building shareholder value and seeking liquidity.

Ohana Capital
Tim is the founder of Ohana Capital and manages the daily activities of the firm with responsibility for deal sourcing, investment selection, and portfolio monitoring.
