We seek to invest in companies within fragmented industries where we can apply our expertise to accelerate growth and add significant value over time.
We screen up to 500 opportunities each year to identify the best potential fit for our portfolio. We then structure transactions that pair these growing businesses with the best-fit combination of partners sourced from individual and institutional capital providers. Pareto & Company invests its own capital in every transaction, aligning the interests of all parties.
​Each investment leverages our knowledge network to help each business scale by identifying the best industry leaders and other experts who can roll up their sleeves alongside us and the company to spur growth.
