Focus: About Us
Partnerships Are the Engine of Success
Transformational Growth
For over 25 years, Saw Mill Capital has focused exclusively on partnering with smaller companies led by a founder or management team looking to achieve transformational growth.

Investing in True Partnership
We pride ourselves on truly partnering with the company leaders and advisors we welcome into our portfolio.
Our enduring approach is to invest in our partners for the long run, providing a unique combination of capital, strategic guidance, tactical support, and entrepreneurial freedom. We seek successful companies capable of significant growth, whether organic or through acquisition, led by talented managers seeking partners to help their business reach its full potential.
The Saw Mill
Family
Family has always been an important part of our company culture.
It influenced our decision to establish our office near where we live—outside of New York City, not in it. Ultimately, we get to spend more time in our community while making the highest impact for our portfolio companies and investors.
Our focus on family and building relationships with those we engage with strengthens our partnerships. We understand what matters most to the founders and executives we partner with, and we commit to building businesses in alignment with our portfolio companies’ values and legacy.
Our Values
Integrity in Word and Action
At Saw Mill, we do what we say we’re going to do. Since our founding, we have committed to upholding a reputation as a trustworthy partner to founders and executives.
We’ve achieved this by embedding integrity and honesty in everything we do. It is of the utmost importance that we follow through on our commitments and serve our portfolio companies and investors to the best of our ability.
Open Dialogue and Honest Conversations
Research and discourse are not limited to our dedicated in-house team; an intellectual and open-minded ethos is inherent throughout our organization.
Honest conversations build stronger foundations for partnership and growth. With a prevailing culture of humility and respect, we often challenge our own opinions and findings to stress-test the best path forward.
Pride in What We Do
We are passionate about being dedicated stewards of both the capital of our investors and the legacy of our portfolio companies.
It is paramount that each individual on the Saw Mill team take ownership and pride in everything we do to uphold the standard of excellence that this level of responsibility requires.
Family-Oriented
Family is a critical component of our DNA, both our families at home and the family we build at work.
We believe this mindset keeps us grounded in what matters most in our partnerships. Our rigorous standards of performance and work ethic are upheld by a human, relationship-based approach.
