Not Your Typical Private Equity Firm
We proactively build direct, personal, long-term relationships with business owners and executives like you, so that when you are ready for a capital partner, you already have one that you trust – that you know shares your values.
Our History
ORG was founded in 2008 by three professionals, all of whom came from family businesses, who therefore understand that making a business transition can often be one of the most consequential – and emotional – decisions you’ve ever considered. Today we are 15+ professionals, but our guiding belief remains: You deserve a better way of finding and working with the capital partner most able to help you grow your business and achieve your goals.
Built on trust
“Everything starts with trust. Knowing that you have a trusted partner, you can do a lot more.”
– Rich Demules, Chairman, Standard Iron
Our Philosophy
Listen to You
We will listen to what you want to achieve – then provide help – not a boss

Be a Relatable Partner
We aim to be a relatable partner, with aligned interests, having fun together, while working together to build wealth
Cultivate Our Cultures
We created our ORG family to reflect that we all have a passion for helping grow private businesses, while nurturing our culture, and yours

People first
“ORG put people first. They took the time to get to know me. They took the time to get to know our employees. They seem to understand and really try to figure out how to push us to be better… ORG time and time again has proven that they’re the right partner because they let us be us.”
