Dune Peak Partners

We are in this for the long term. We plan on running your business 7+ years and make decision to support its longer-term success

Your company will have 100% of our focus. We will dedicate all of our resources to the long-term success of your business

We would like to help you achieve your financial goals; you can receive more cash up-front or rollover equity to the next phase

We would love to learn from your expertise, but we respect your other priorities and promise to keep the transition to less than one year

Private Equity

Private equities tries to extract as much value out of your business as quickly as possible which could mean cost cutting measures

PE firms will often require you to stay on the business full-time multiple years without flexibility to consider your personal priorities

Strategic Buyers

We buy your business to preserve its legacy and help it grow, eventually benefiting your employees, customers, and community

PE firms typically have 10-50 companies in their portfolio. Your company will receive a fraction of their focus

Your company becomes a part of a much larger organization. Your company’s direction will depend on the parent company priorities

Typically limited to 3–5-year time horizons which could mean short-term decision making and limited investment into the business

Time horizon is unpredictable and depends on the priorities of the parent company

As a part of a much larger organization, your company will receive the fraction of the management’s time and focus

PE firms have standardized and unflexible deal terms. Limited up-front cash with large amount of equity rollover to the next phase

A strategic buyer will likely fully buy your business and won’t let you rollover equity to get exposure to the future growth of your business

Strategic buyers will often require you to stay on the business full-time multiple years without flexibility to consider your personal priorities
