We start by looking for a strong, ambitious leader that we can partner with to try to build a world-class platform.

We love the connotation of roll up your sleeves and get to work.

We have a mix of that.

of investors and operators on our team we have 20 teammates by the end of the year it'll be 24 25 that mix looks like um kind of 40 investors and 40 operators and 20 firm operations so very intentionally a group of operators that can come in alongside these strong ambitious leaders and roll up our sleeves and get to work

We don't just want to be a bunch of investment jocks sitting on the sideline thinking we're smarter than the world because we have MBAs.

It's the proper mix of investors and operators coming together is our approach to help build.

So that word build.

Second, better.

Big believers in being the best and getting better.

Constant improvement mindset.

Make progress every single day.

Better operationally, strategically, financially.

Talk a lot about building better culturally.

We want leaders that share this desire to build ownership culture together.

High degrees of communication, accountability, transparency, a spirit of abundance.

We wrap all of our businesses with employee ownership plans.

So we want leaders that lean into that.

Think, okay, I want to build a scalable platform, scalable culture within it that allows us to be not just bigger but better.

Finally, together, bringing unique individuals together into one whole that's stronger.

We didn't accidentally choose the name Unity Partners.
