Evolution Strategy Partners takes a fresh and, we believe, welcomed and long overdue approach to private equity.

Our core values are at the foundation of everything we do.
We purposefully chose action-based phrases to ensure our values remain a reality

01

Do the right thing.

We operate with full transparency and seek businesses that value strong ethics and business practices. Our culture is one of mutual respect and collaboration and want to do what is best for all – not just for our team’s benefit.
02

Remain Accountable.

We believe in doing more as it is our obligation to help the partner businesses overcome challenges and find new opportunities to grow. We stay engaged and take ownership over the work that is needed to help the businesses grow. We roll up our sleeves to contribute immediately wherever needed.
03

Deliver excellence.

We are never content with the status quo. Success requires constant analysis and adjustment of business practices. We provide the tools, knowledge and financial backing to our partner businesses to evolve intelligently to sustain, or create, industry leadership.
04

Embrace change.

We know change is never easy, but we work diligently to always understand the best path forward and are willing and nimble to course correct based on what is happening in the market. We are thoughtful and calculated risk takers that understand being innovative always means planning for what may come ahead. Hope is not a strategy.

From the very beginning we clearly communicate and reinforce our focus when partnering with a business:

  • We focus on the most meaningful ways to add value. We don’t look to recreate the wheel or change what made the company great in the first place.
  • We remain transparent on our process. We communicate clearly.
  • We protect and enhance the company’s culture.
  • We stay true to our word and remain committed to our promises.
    Simply ask any of our past or present CEOs, bankers, lenders, or service partners.

“Stenning saw the potential in partnering with us not only because of the numbers, but because of his belief in our vision and mission. Evolution believes in purpose and how that ultimately drives profits. He was not there to change us, but rather to provide the support and capital to help execute our plan.”

We seek to discover businesses with recognizable core values.

After decades working with and/or for traditional private equity firms, we evolved to migrate only the best elements into our role as aligned and principled Independent Sponsors. We do not just seek investments but instead seek to discover businesses with recognizable core value, tremendous potential, and passionate leadership.

We consider it a privilege to work with companies that challenge convention and seek new ways to become leaders in their respective markets.
