UNIQUE APPROACH FOR BUILDING VALUE
- Clarity partners with entrepreneurs, business owners and management teams to prioritize growth strategies, to envision the next chapter of the business, and to execute on their strategic plans.
- We strongly believe that people are the key asset to every business, and that the right team with the right incentives will accelerate success. Clarity collaborates with executive teams to design organizational strategies that will drive sustainable growth.
- We provide clarity to investors. Our approach to new transactions is patient and disciplined - we will not invest until we have a clear path for value creation. Transparency is paramount to us, and we provide consistent financial and operational reporting on an ongoing basis.
KEY DIFFERENTIATORS
The partners at Clarity have significant experience with entrepreneurial, growth-oriented, services businesses including:
Unique Combination of Transaction and Operational Leadership Experience
- Board and/or executive leadership positions in 7 companies, mostly in tech-enabled, human capital and/or healthcare services businesses
- 10 platform or add-on acquisitions completed
- 6 companies in which Clarity’s principals were involved ultimately achieved successful liquidity events
- 22 years direct operational leadership experience
- 15 years private equity experience
- 5 years mergers and acquisition advisory services experience
- Near Term Liquidity and Long Term Value Creation. A partnership with Clarity allows owners/management to generate cash and personal risk reduction upfront, while continuing to participate in value creation going forward.
- Working Relationship. We do not try to change your business. We work hard to understand what has already made your business great, and then simply enhance it. Our strength is knowing how to leverage the knowledge and team you’ve already built and add tools and resources to help you add scale.
- True Partnership and Flexibility. Clarity understands that every company and every management team is unique, and that no single transaction structure or strategy fits all. Clarity works hard to develop balanced approaches to each situation and engages with management teams to chart a path forward.
- Patient Investors. Clarity recognizes that long-term hold, recapitalization, and dividend strategies may sometimes be a better path to superior returns than a pre-ordained path toward an outright sale of a business. Clarity intentionally partners with management teams and investors that are not necessarily focused on artificial timetables or PE fund cycles.
- Relevant Experience. We’ve built entrepreneurial businesses ourselves and we’ve made investments in private companies. We bring the best of both approaches and partner with you to customize a financial and business plan to achieve long term success.
CORE VALUES
We believe deeply in our core values and they guide all of our actions and decisions.
- Our Integrity is our most valued asset, and it drives every choice that we make.
- Partnership is the approach we take in all relationships. We are collaborators and consensus builders by nature, and we know that being a good partner increases mutual success.
- Clarity and Transparency build trust and efficiency, and we prioritize both in all interactions with management teams, investors, and intermediaries.
