Our Mission
We're on a mission to arm Main-Street with know-how and innovative business models and strategies to excel in market domination.
Our Vision
To assist small businesses with performing consistently at peak volumes and with phenomenal resilience affecting local economies.
We are total opposites of traditional private investment firms. Kinsmen is patient and isn't constrained by investment committees, our end goals, and a quick sell. We at Kinsmen look to enhance communities through private equity. We invest in Strong, Local, Staple businesses, encouraging sustainability, growth, productivity, and unanimity.
Our actions and ventures are steadfast and intentional— including our work, the companies we invest in, and what we’re building. Each portfolio company of ours solves a problem and/or adds unmatched value to its customers and communities, keeping your legacy intact. The work we do is important.
Our transactions last and create opportunities for long-term growth and sustainability for its owners, team members, and customers. Profit enables us to stay patient and is a measure of the value we bring to the market and the communities we serve.
Message to Owners
"I believe that it's more than vital for main-street organizations to have access to materials, resources and support to implement into your business. Not only to outpace competitors and excel in your industry, but also to operate consistently in your potential and do it well.
Kinsmen is for the Owner. We are for them to have total control over their organizations limiting typical "governance" and other affiliated domestic entities interfering in their businesses. To ensure this we encourage owners to operate with a custom strategy that carries the values and mores that are important to them. One that keeps your legacy intact."
