The Deal

Bought By
Eric Giesecke and Blake Rice
Year
Not published by any primary source
One backer prints 2013 as its partner-since year and 2015 on its investments list; the index host prints its own 2015 investment and 2019 exit; the third backer's tile carries no year; all are the backers' dates. The vehicle's own Form D of October 2013 is a $540,000 search raise from a Virginia home address with both men on it, and the entity filed nothing after it, so the acquisition was financed without a second filing.
Vehicle
District Line Partners, backed by Endurance Search Partners, Search Fund Partners, Aspect Investors, ETA Equity and The Cambria Group
Kind
Software

A software company whose cloud-based practice management product runs dental practices and groups.

What Happened Next

One backer names one as chief executive and the other as president beside the fund on its partners page and lists the company among its past investments. The index host carries its own 2015 investment and 2019 exit and names only its board seat, and a third lists it among legacy investments.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.

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.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. One backer names one as chief executive and the other as president beside the fund on its partners page. The index host carries its own 2015 investment and 2019 exit and names only its board seat, a third lists it among legacy investments, and nothing says either bought it.
