What an amazing Investor Day we had with our larger institutional investors last week! We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and made it such a special event. This was the first time we’ve shared this level of detail about our playbook, and the feedback was phenomenal. One investor who participates in 10-20 investor meetings a year, said it was “the best presentation I have seen” and that we have “set a new bar for what a playbook should look like.” Our playbook, built on an LMS with custom access and content for each role within our portfolio companies, features 150+ modules, around 100 videos, and about 450 pages of process documentation, templates, how-tos, and more across value creation, corporate development, talent, accounting, integration, sales, and marketing. This playbook has been key to creating amazing consistency in our results, growing the legacies of the founders we acquire companies from, and generating top decile+ yields and returns for our investors. Here are a few quotes we received from current and prospective investors: “Hands down the best investor day I've seen. Excellent event.” “Your playbook sets a standard for what they need to look like.” “This was a home run.” “Heard a lot of AI pitches, but this was the first truly credible one I've heard.” "If I wasn’t already an investor, I’d sign my subscription agreement today." These kind words mean the world to us and keep us motivated to keep pushing the envelope. Here’s a quick highlight reel of the day. Thanks for being part of our journey and supporting our vision. Here’s to more growth ahead! #unleveredbuyout #vgs

I spent the better part of two days meeting with investors recently. Contrary to popular belief I found it energizing and motivating. A few things stick out to me after these meetings: first, telling your story - origin, challenges, redemption - really makes a difference. Investors are people like you and me and relate to these journeys. Secondly - meetings that were most productive were when both of us were prepared. Admittedly it was hard to keep track of 20 different investors and their investments and “special sauce” - just like it was for them with me. But when it clicked it was amazing. Third - the best investors know life is long and there needs to be a “give and take”. I really saw some stellar engagement from talented people these last couple of days. Finally - these sessions serve as both validation and learning for me. I came away with insights and ideas that will help us get better and successful. #installedbaseintelligence #investors Entytle
