Method & Source
This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts.
- Pacific Lake Partners' own account pacificlake.com
- Aspect Investors' own account aspectinvestors.com
- Endurance Search Partners' own account, The backer's partners page, which names the searcher beside the company and the fund. endurancesearchpartners.com
- Endurance Search Partners' own account, The backer's investments list, which carries the company and its own year. endurancesearchpartners.com
- Applied Equity's own account, The backer's August 2021 release on its participation in the acquisition, which names both men as the company's new chief executive and president. applied-equity.com
- Applied Equity's own account, The backer's gallery card for him, filed under a 2020 search fund label. applied-equity.com
These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The index host names both as chief executives beside its 2021 investment; a second backer lists the company and names nobody. Nothing says either bought it.
