Our Value Creation Process

Business investment can take many forms: hiring or enhancing personnel, purchasing equipment, expanding IT systems, etc. Each business is different and has different needs at different times. We understand the importance of ongoing investment and have experience guiding a variety of company types toward their business goals.

Over the years 1719 Partners founder Scott Dickes has advised dozens of private company investments from multi-million capital equipment purchases at Custom Label to add-on acquisitions at JRI Industries.

Occasionally you hear private equity horror stories: private equity owners that stop investing in their companies, strip them of assets, and sweep every penny out of the business. That strategy may boost cash-flow in the short term, but 1719 Partners is not in the business of making short-term investments. We are dedicated to creating true long-term value for many years— even decades— to come, and this focus guides all our investment decisions. 

Therefore, we recognize not only the importance of ongoing investment, but also of making the right investments at the right times. Investing for a company’s long term growth prioritizes company health above making a quick profit. That focus is how we set the company up for continuous success.
