How we work
What We Do
Twelve31 partners with established small businesses for the long term. The name and the people stay, and we add what a growing company usually lacks: finance, systems and a second set of experienced hands.
After closing
A short list of priorities.
Once we partner with a business, we work alongside its leaders on a short list of priorities. Tighten operations. Upgrade the systems. Find the next stage of growth, sometimes through an add-on.
We judge ourselves on whether the companies we partner with are stronger, steadier and worth more years from now.

Better together
Our team has operating experience, not just investing experience.
We know what it takes to make payroll, fix a broken process, and keep good people.
Each portfolio company gets a plan built for it, and people who show up to help carry it out.
Strategic business evolution
Growth by acquisition, done carefully.
Some of our companies grow by acquisition. We find the right add-on, handle the diligence and the integration, and make sure the people on both sides come out ahead.
What a business gets from us
The basics that make a business run well.
We work with each company’s leaders on the basics that make a business run well: clean numbers, good systems, steady hiring, and a sales plan that holds up.
When a company is ready to grow, through a new location, new equipment or an add-on, we work with our investors to fund it.
We back good businesses, keep what works and improve what doesn’t.
