Ambit Partners

Ambit Partners operates as a specialized investment firm focused on the Search Fund model, which facilitates entrepreneurship through acquisition. The firm provides capital and strategic support to aspiring entrepreneurs, known as searchers, who are looking to acquire, manage, and grow an existing small to medium-sized enterprise (SME). Ambit Partners' investment strategy spans both established and emerging markets, allowing for a diversified global portfolio of small businesses.

The firm was co-founded by Robs Paterson and Albert Colomer. Paterson has a background in private equity and operational roles, having also been a successful searcher himself. This experience provides him with firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities within the search fund ecosystem. Colomer is a prominent figure in the entrepreneurship-through-acquisition community, with extensive experience advising and investing in search funds globally.

Ambit Partners' business model involves backing a select portfolio of entrepreneurs throughout the entire acquisition lifecycle. This includes the initial search for a suitable company, the transaction process, and the post-acquisition management and growth phase. By combining a global investment mandate with significant experience in SME transactions and operations, the firm aims to support its entrepreneurs in building long-term, sustainable businesses. The firm's clients are the entrepreneurs they back, and their revenue is generated from the returns on their investments in the acquired companies.
