More About Garden City Equity:
Think a “Berkshire Hathaway” model, but of small to mid-sized businesses, with a people-first approach, and with a vision “to honor God by building the best holding company in the world where all workers can thrive”.
We have a simple strategy. We buy & hold companies for the long term, use little to no debt, keep the management team in place, close deals quickly in ~60 days, and preserve the founder’s culture and legacy.
We have strategic capital - no institutional investors. All of our capital comes from mission-aligned and value-added investors who are passionate about coming alongside us to help grow our businesses.
Garden City Equity has experienced significant growth since its launch in 2020; highlights include:
- Capital raised & deployed: Initially raised $52M, which has been almost completely deployed. Raised an additional $150M+ in 2024.
- Family of companies: Currently includes 6 businesses (control & non-control).
- Growing team: The company will employ 11 professionals across the Investments and Operations teams.
- Investment performance: The firm is currently generating annual cash returns in the high teens, while growing the underlying equity value of the portfolio. If the entire portfolio liquidated today, it would have generated a 60%+ cumulative return.
We offer:
- Competitive compensation and time off
- Generous health benefits
- Mission-aligned team
- Team offsites
- Regular shareholder summits
