About Us
23 & Park is a private firm headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia that specializes in the active management of solvent small to medium-sized businesses with strong potential to grow sustainably.
We represent a world-class team of investors, advisors and entrepreneurs passionate about acquiring, managing and growing businesses.
We seek to acquire privately held businesses with revenue between US$4 and US$35 million.
We are an attractive option for business owners considering a partial or full sale of their business.
We will dedicate 100% of our efforts and resources towards managing and growing that company, undertaking an active day-to-day operating role and working closely with the existing management team to help the company achieve its next level of performance.
Team
The Executive Team of 23 & Park has wide experience in Private Equity, Investment Banking and Industrial businesses with operations in Colombia and abroad.
23 & Park combines the experience of sophisticated managers and advisors comprised of business operators, entrepreneurs, CEOs, academics and investment professionals. This team brings decades of experience in evaluating investment opportunities, driving operational improvements, financing and selling medium-sized companies in a variety of industries.
Investors, advisors and the executive team make up the Board of Directors of the businesses managed by 23 & Park.
Investment Focus
Our main targets are service related businesses with annual revenues ranging between US$4 and US$35 million in industries where our team has previous experience.
Acquisition candidates include profitable companies with motivated sellers seeking liquidity and management transition due to retirement, monetization of an investment or divestiture.
We seek to work with owner-managers in a transition period to ensure a smooth change in control and a continued business legacy.
23 & Park provides business owners with a unique alternative to the traditional private equity fund.
