Our Values
Building bridges between generations
Kogi Capital looks to acquire, operate, and grow privately held businesses.
Kogi offers business owners a unique transition opportunity. We are ready to step into the ownership role and create long-term value for the company while preserving the legacy that has been built.
Kogi’s Value Proposition
A Generational Transfer
Kogi is passionate about taking a direct ownership and management role.
We are committed to preserving the legacy of the previous generation’s success and are motivated to grow the business in a meaningful and sustainable way. Kogi understands the importance of continued support for your employees and looks to invest in employee training for sustained growth and further prosperity.
Flexibility & Communication
Successful transactions occur in an honest and fair environment. Every business is different and every seller has different objectives as they approach a successful exit and embark on the next adventure of their life. We build solid relationships with owners to help create the most advantageous deal in terms of liquidity requirements and/or potential long-run upside.
Smooth transition
Deciding to transition and/or exit to create liquidity can be an emotional experience for a business owner. To assure a smooth transition, we work with our team of advisors (who include former and current business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors) to ensure the deal is quickly and fully financed. Kogi ensures complete confidentiality until the owner is ready to announce the transition.
Fair valuation
Owners successfully operate their companies for many years and are looking to exit that allows them an enjoyable retirement. Kogi works with owners and their accountants to create honest and fair valuations to get owners the retirement money they deserve.
Can you really explain to a fish what it's like to walk on land? One day on land is worth a thousand years of talking about it, and one day running a business has exactly the same kind of value.
