Mauloa

“We’re very lucky in that this is the third fund I’ve raised in 17 years and so we take our time,” Andrew Sachs said. Mauloa makes investments of between $15 million and $25 million in companies that have between $20 million and $100 million in annual revenue and are cash flow positive, according to its website. Its investors are family offices and high-net-worth individuals, and it invests without an exit timeline. It’s industry agnostic although it avoids early-stage companies and real estate. To date, it’s deployed more than $200 million and invested in more than 20 companies, it said. Todd Mohr, former president and CEO of multibillion-dollar staffing firm Aerotek, joined Mauloa as a general partner this fall. Mohr’s focus will be on helping portfolio companies with their growth strategies and identifying potential deals for Mauloa. Mohr’s hiring brings the number of people on the firm’s operating team to nine.

Good article from Andy Medici for American City Business Journals, the key is helping small businesses grow cash flow in an organic, sustainable way. "A study released late last year by business-valuation company BizEquity detailed how?a company's valuation multiple increases when its cash flow and revenue grow, providing a big incentive for owners to ensure they are keeping costs down and pursuing new" opportunities.?https://lnkd.in/gMZQCZEt

"Often, nothing looks compelling; very infrequently we find ourselves knee-deep in opportunities," Buffett wrote. https://lnkd.in/eaJZJhdV

I couldn’t agree more—a shakeout in private equity is coming. Too many PE firms follow the same playbook: overpaying for companies and piling on debt to make the numbers work. The real cost isn’t just lower returns—it's the collateral damage to great companies, their employees, and their communities. Mauloa does it differently. We buy 30-40% of your middle-market company without using debt, ruining your culture, or ever forcing you to sell. Instead, we all receive regular cash distributions from profits, which keeps everyone’s interests ENDLESSLY aligned.

Mauloa is proud to be partners with O’Connor. Teaching the next generation is so important and a great career path for many.

This is perhaps our greatest differentiator, and it’s absolutely critical that we achieve proper alignment here with family offices. We are perfectly fine holding the investments indefinitely, which is why our firm is named Mauloa, which means “endless” in Hawaiian. Along the way, our family office investors receive annual distributions, which can grow to be multiples on their invested capital. As most people are quick to detect, we model much of our approach after Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett, who has said that his ideal holding period for investments is “forever.”

Thanks to Mike Foster of Family Capital Publishing for featuring Mauloa, we've worked in direct partnership with family offices since Andrew Sachs started the firm in 2007 (subscription required). https://lnkd.in/giG8aRKE
