The Deal
- Bought By
- Gabe Barkley
- Year
- 2017
- Vehicle
- A NextGen Growth Partners residency, which bought into the company with him as chief executive
- Kind
- Services
The leading national importer and service provider for the beverage alcohol industry, in the program's words, whose founder and chief executive partnered with the resident to grow it.
What Happened Next
The program's case study says the founder asked it about acquiring a majority stake, dates the closing to August 2017 and keeps the founder as president with a board seat. The company's own 2019 post names him its chief executive presenting at a trade show. The program's portfolio page files it under realized investments, which is its own label and not a sale any page read describes.
