We Buy Small Businesses.

Tenth Street Group is a permanent holding company that buys and grows great businesses.

We’re Long-Term Investors

We are a differentiated option focused on building enduring businesses for decades vs. maximizing short-term value.

Long Time Horizon

We think in decades not quarters, and strive to own businesses for the long-term vs. selling companies every 3-5 years.

Business Builder Mindset

We’ve led businesses as CEO and CFO, understand the challenges (and joys) of running a business, and know great companies aren’t built in spreadsheets.

People & Culture

We have lived in a special culture and are driven by our purpose of empowering people and organizations to reach their full potential.

We invest our committed capital, networks, and expertise, into businesses we want to be associated with for a long time.

Who We Are

We are a rare combination of disciplined investors and business managers, with a long-term mindset and culture. Together with our partners, we represent over $50m in capital.

Our Investors are family and individuals

We partner with families and individual investors.

Our investor network consist of family capital and individual investors whom we have built deep relationships with. We deliberately do not accept institutional capital in order to serve our purpose of building a complete people first culture. We tend to refer to our shareholders as our community.
