-About us- Carver Partners is building a buy-and-build platform in young-plant propagation — the Stage 01 businesses that produce the liners and plugs every nursery and grower buys before they grow anything else. We have an executed LOI on the platform company and are raising the sponsor equity to close. -The first asset- FoundedredactedA plant nursery with proprietary production processes and a proprietary catalogue of plant material, production in the United States, 61 employees, and 1,850+ active wholesale grower accounts across the US, Canada and Mexico. Roughly 80% of revenue comes from repeat customers and the largest single account is ~6% of sales. It is the #1 US producer in its core category at ~30% share, and ~10% of an adjacent category three times the size. -Where it stands- LOI executed, exclusivity live. Targeting a Q4 close. Anonymized deck available under NDA. -Why us- This is the first asset, and the one we intend to build the platform on. The team — Roberto Huber, Rodrigo Arellano and Nicholas Ackerman — brings complementary skills across horticulture, M&A and private equity, with 37+ years of combined experience covering the operating, deal and underwriting sides of a transaction like this. We are underwriting a long-term consolidation where the returns compound rather than arrive on one exit. It also fits what we set out to do with our careers: use business as the tool to generate outstanding returns while addressing environmental problems.
