mustang_soloOur Approach

We believe innovation is at the core of successful companies, the lifeblood that makes the business fun and exciting while creating shareholder value.

Mustang’s partners have been privileged to work at research paper and invest in some exceptional companies throughout their careers and have identified distinct business growth “levers” that serve as a success formula for growing companies.  Mustang works actively with its portfolio companies on initiatives in the areas of growth, profitability, capital efficiency and scalability (See chart below).

Mustang’s approach is constructed on a simple principle: combine our proven growth methods with our owner-operator’s innovation and market knowledge for a compelling platform to help companies achieve sustainable revenue and earnings growth.
