We are not a
private equity
firm.
For portfolio operators
We don't manage a fund. We don't have limited partners demanding a 5-year exit. HerGrowth Holdings acquires businesses to own and strengthen them — long term. When you sell to HerGrowth, you're choosing an ownership partner who will install accountability, invest in your team, and grow what you spent years building. We bring a portfolio of shared resources — technology, marketing, financial oversight, and executive leadership — that no single business could afford alone.
Two ways to be acquired.
One is ours.
- —Fund-driven, LP-pressured timelines
- —5-year exit clock from day one
- —Strip costs, optimize for resale
- —Replace the team, install consultants
- —Anonymous capital, transactional
- +Operator-led, long-horizon ownership
- +Generational, no exit clock
- +Strengthen, then grow what's there
- +Invest in your team and your systems
- +Personal capital, relational always
Six things every
portfolio company
gets on day one.
Not a services menu. Not a referral. These are the operational levers HerGrowth installs in every business we acquire — because they're the difference between a company that compounds and one that drifts.
Strategic Advisory
Setting direction, evaluating opportunities, and supporting major decisions at the ownership level.
Executive Accountability
Installing performance frameworks, KPI systems, and corrective action processes that drive results.
Capital Access
Leveraging HerGrowth's lender, CDFI, and investor relationships to fund portfolio company growth.
Fractional Executive Leadership
Deploying fractional CEO, CAO, and Sales leadership during transitions and performance gaps.
Portfolio Resource Sharing
Shared access to marketing, technology, HR, and financial infrastructure across the portfolio.
Governance & Board Support
Formal board oversight, quarterly reviews, and strategic planning at the holding company level.
Years from selling?
That's a feature.
We work with select business owners through pre-acquisition advisory engagements — helping build the operational infrastructure, accountability systems, and leadership teams that drive value and position a business for a strong future transaction. Many of our best acquisition conversations started as advisory relationships.
Pre-Acquisition Advisory
Building value, systems, and exit readiness before a formal transaction.
Business Readiness Assessment
An honest evaluation of where your business stands and what it would take to be acquisition-ready.
Fractional CAO Engagements
Accountability systems and corrective action leadership deployed directly into your organization.
Fractional Sales Leadership
Revenue strategy and sales execution for businesses ready to grow before they sell.
Exit Planning Advisory
Valuation preparation, documentation, and operational readiness for a future transaction.
Self Mastery Society Referrals
Executive coaching and leadership development for founders and senior leaders, via Kari's advisory firm.
When you sell to HerGrowth, you're choosing an ownership partner — not an exit.
