The Patriot Growth Capital Approach
At Patriot Growth Capital (PGC), we are committed to changing veteran family trees through business ownership. Our purpose stems from over 120 years of combined military and business leadership experience. Through this, we recognized that business could do more than generate profits—it could create lasting wealth for veteran families and their future generations.
Our team has empowered over 16,000 veteran families, completed 104 investments, and generated $136 million in revenue. By combining veterans’ leadership skills with expert business mentorship, we help families build legacies that transform their financial futures.
Deep Relationships and Creating Value
At PGC, we operate on three core values. First, we focus on building deep, long-term relationships. Knowing everything about our partners allows us to create the most value possible. We define value as two things: financial returns and unique experiences. Both are important on their own, but they create something truly exceptional when combined.
Second, we believe in doing well by doing good. We aim to help our partners build wealth so that when they see a need, they can fill it without hesitation. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so we make sure your cup overflows.
Finally, we only work with A-players. These are people who do whatever it takes—not just their best. Our A-players raise the bar, come up with solutions, and are committed to helping change veteran family trees while achieving capital gains-free returns.
Our Team: Built on Experience and Commitment
Our leadership team brings together over 120 years of military and business experience, providing deep industry knowledge and strategic guidance. This experience has helped us forge meaningful relationships across both the veteran and business communities. Our team shares the same goal: to invest profitably while empowering veteran families to transition into business leadership, creating lasting legacies successfully.
Our Step-by-Step Pipeline Process: From Deal Origination to LOI
Our disciplined pipeline process ensures we consistently identify, evaluate, and execute the right acquisitions while staying aligned with our mission.
- Deal Origination
We actively seek acquisition targets through multiple channels, including brokers, proprietary outreach, and industry connections. Every opportunity is evaluated to ensure it meets our financial targets, including $1.5 million in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). This metric reveals a company’s cash flow and overall financial health, helping us ensure it aligns with our goals. - Red Light Green Light (RLGL) One-Sheet
Once we engage with a seller, we gather key details and complete a Red Light Green Light (RLGL) one-sheet. This document highlights the company’s financial performance, market position, strategic fit, and the seller’s motivations. The RLGL sheet provides a high-level overview, allowing us to quickly assess whether the opportunity fits our criteria or presents any red flags. This process ensures we focus only on the best opportunities. - Weekly Review and Decision
Every week, we review potential acquisitions using the RLGL one-sheet. We either move forward with deals that meet our standards or eliminate those that don’t. Ensuring we concentrate on the highest potential opportunities. - Assessing Fundability and Mitigating Risk
What sets PGC apart is how we assess fundability and mitigate risk. We utilize Small Business Administration (SBA) standards, which have a proven 40-year track record with a default rate of just 3% for $1 million-plus business loans. By working closely with SBA brokers, we evaluate the value and risk of each target, allowing us to reduce risk significantly. This process gives us a strong starting point, putting us on the 97-yard line for success. Once we identify a fundable opportunity, we secure term sheets from approved funding entities to speed up the LOI and closing process. - Crafting the Letter of Intent (LOI)
We draft the Letter of Intent (LOI) if a deal passes our evaluations. The LOI outlines the purchase price, deal structure, working capital, and key contingencies. This document represents our serious intent to acquire the business while allowing for negotiation as we proceed. - Executing and Submitting the LOI
After finalizing the LOI, we submit it to the seller or broker. From here, we move into deeper negotiations and conduct due diligence, ensuring a smooth acquisition process for the veteran family and the business seller.
Simplifying the Investment Process with the “Good Stack”
At PGC, we focus on eliminating complexity to focus on the best opportunities. We apply the “good stack” principle—evaluating each investment for financial returns and the amount of good it can create. If the opportunity aligns with our mission and makes money, we proceed. This ensures that every investment supports veteran families while generating solid financial returns.
The Path Forward
At Patriot Growth Capital, we transform family trees, not just make investments. Through our structured approach, deep relationships, and commitment to empowering veteran families, we deliver strong financial returns while changing legacies.
