WE ARE ACQUISITION PATHFINDERS

CLEW connects strategic investors with family and founder-led companies

How

Our investor clients all have one thing in common: they desire to grow through acquisition but seek to do so more effectively.

At CLEW, we specialize in strategic acquisition search work:

Identify
Candidates:

We find the most suitable acquisition candidates for you.

Open
Dialog:

We discretely initiate a conversation with such candidates.

Facilitate
Negotiations:

We stick with you through the acquisition close.

For every engagement, we apply deep industry expertise and sophisticated critical thinking to our extensive data resources and world-class relationships.

OUR DIFFERENTIATORS

TRUSTED
PARTNERS

Our success is measured on your success, so we work with your best interests in mind.

ACCOMPLISHED
EXPERTS

Our broader advisory team, comprised of industry experts, complements our own expertise.

GLOBAL
RELATIONSHIPS

Our extensive, global network increases the chance of a stronger client match.

We

A clew/kloo/ is a ball of thread, used by Theseus to escape the Cretan labyrinth after defeating the minotaur.

At CLEW PARTNERS, we strive to be this “ball of thread” and successfully guide our clients through an acquisition search.

In doing so, our team can draw on considerable expertise with sourcing and investing in private companies, from previous roles, such as at Ziff Brothers, H.I.G. Capital, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays:
