Scaling Success: Lessons from a PE Growth Engine

Scaling Success: Lessons from a PE Growth Engine

How do you scale a business from micro-cap to a national platform while building a team that can lead at every stage of growth?

Join us for a fireside chat with Mike Cooper, Founding Partner at Shore Capital Partners, as we explore Shore's growth-focused investment model and their approach to building enduring companies in fragmented industries.
Shore’s track record includes launching and scaling multiple industry platforms, each rooted in a clear value creation strategy, operational discipline, and a heavy emphasis on leadership development.
In this conversation, we’ll cover:
The Shore Capital Growth Playbook: A behind-the-scenes look at their repeatable approach to launching and scaling businesses.
Executing Add-On Heavy Strategies: How to source, integrate, and grow through high volumes of acquisitions while maintaining quality and alignment.
Building Leadership Teams That Scale: How to identify and support leaders who can evolve with the business—and how to navigate when they can’t.
Pivotal Decisions and Inflection Points: Lessons learned from major milestones along the growth journey, from early formation to recapitalization and beyond.
Operational Excellence and Change Management: Why people, processes, and hands-on involvement are critical for building value in service-based businesses.

Don’t miss this inside look at the complexities of scaling, leading, and exiting a high-growth PE-backed platform.
