Companies being built by acquisition
About this listA platform is a company a sponsor acquired and then bought other companies into. A company is listed here once the record shows it as a platform investment or as the platform named on an add-on. Counts are what has been collected, not a full history. The platforms that pass the buy-and-build tests, with their observed thesis, are on the overview.A small square beside the latest add-on marks one in the last 90 days. The owners behind each platform open on the firm desk.ShowingIndustryBusiness servicesAdd-ons, 24 months1 and up
