Enduring Ventures, founded in 2019 by Xavier Helgesen and Sieva Kozinsky, is a holding company that acquires and builds businesses with a long-term perspective. The founders, both entrepreneurs, created Enduring Ventures with the vision of providing a permanent home for companies, a philosophy inspired by Berkshire Hathaway.
Xavier Helgesen, a co-founder, previously founded and led Better World Books, a successful social enterprise that sells books online to fund literacy initiatives. Sieva Kozinsky, the other co-founder, has a background in investing and entrepreneurship, having co-founded and led several companies. Their combined experience in building and scaling businesses informs Enduring Ventures' approach to acquiring and supporting its portfolio companies.
The firm's business model is centered on acquiring majority stakes in profitable small to medium-sized businesses across various industries. Unlike traditional private equity firms, Enduring Ventures does not have a fixed investment horizon and aims to hold its companies indefinitely. This long-term approach allows them to focus on sustainable growth and value creation.
Enduring Ventures' portfolio includes a diverse range of companies, from a top-four pool builder in Arizona, Dolphin Pools, to a platform for independent hotels, Enduring Real Estate. The firm serves as a solution provider for business owners looking for a transition, as well as for fatigued equity and debt holders in difficult auction processes.
