Why Orenda
Before I acquired anything, I had already built something.
Trust is essential. Trust alone is not enough. A real succession also requires certainty. So I built that certainty before I ever knocked on a founder's door.
I studied the search fund model, structured Orenda Continuum Capital around it, and earned the commitment of thirteen experienced investors who share one conviction:
That the right company, led the right way, is worth protecting for the long term.
Unlike most acquisitions, a traditional search fund begins long before a company is identified. These investors chose to support my search first. They spent months getting to know my experience, my values, my leadership style, and my vision for preserving and growing one exceptional business.
Their commitment means that before I ever reached out to you, the financial foundation was already in place. My acquisition project is structured and capitalized to acquire an established Canadian business generating approximately $2 million to $8 million in EBITDA, allowing our conversations to focus on the right fit rather than on financing
I would like to introduce you to some of the people who chose to believe in me before there was ever a company to acquire.

Most buyers come looking for capital. I came having already assembled the vehicle, and the confidence of the people behind it. The structure is built for a single acquisition held for years, not a deal to be flipped.
That is what lets our conversations focus where they belong.
On people.
On culture.
On continuity.
And on making sure you feel confident about who continues your company's story.
