Our
Mission
We invest in and build businesses which
strive to provide best-in-class services through innovation,
operational excellence and strong leadership. Our goal is
to create shareholder value while having a positive impact
on our environment and our society. We call this conscious
capitalism.
- We are long-term investors and business builders;
we believe that if you think and invest long-term and
concentrate on operational excellence, then the exit will
take care of itself.
- We see the good in what we do and seek managers
who are passionate about their company's mission beyond
wealth creation.
- We value our reputation for honesty, integrity and
fair dealing and believe these are critical to success
in life and in business.
- We respect confidentiality.
- In keeping with our belief that owners make better
managers, our professionals personally invest alongside
our Partners' capital to align our goals; we “eat
our own cooking.”
- Our firm is built on a foundation of mutual respect;
we value a working environment that promotes an open exchange
of ideas and fosters creative thinking - there is no bad
idea.
- We are a team, not a collection of individuals.
- Generation is a meritocracy; performance is measured
and rewarded based on long-term investment success.
- We believe in hiring and empowering self-motivated,
risk-comfortable people.
Doing Well - Doing Good
Generation has a long history of being involved
in organizations that allow our firm to "do well while
doing good". This is a meaningful consideration in our
decision process and is an underlying theme shared by many
of our investments.
