Detroit, United States The Military Veteran Full time

Company Overview:

TheMilVet is partnered with PE clients who are consolidating fragmented industries across America. These are industries that have no national presence or brands that dominate the market. Our PE partners create value through consolidation and quickly scaling the core business in a high growth environment. As an example, a sister portco in this fund grew its revenue from $0 to $2B in 4 years and after 300+ acquisitions. For more information about his strategy, we’ve included an article from the Harvard Business Review. Private Equity Needs a New Talent Strategy


Our clients enter a market through acquisition, hire a leader to be its champion for growth [the General Manager], and begin to rapidly scale the local market. As the new market grows, they search for other local complementary businesses to tie under the newly hired GM. Assuming performance, the goal is for the new GM to grow into the market leader responsible for multiple companies.


This PE client is a top-decile private equity fund with a long history of successful investments in professional, residential, and tech services. This specific holding company is an investment out of its 9th fund, which will have ~$4.5 billion of committed capital and is focused on acquiring and growing residential home services companies. Company revenue has grown from $0 to $400M in 12 months.


Their executive leaders who are building this firm are experienced PE operators and represent an all-star team. Past GM hires have included high performing Veterans with strong leadership skills and next-level execution abilities. Military profiles include leaders from Special Forces, Ranger Regiment, the nuclear Navy, USMC Infantry and MARSOC, etc.
