Professionals
Evolution’s strategy is designed around the strengths and experience of its Professionals. The diverse backgrounds of the Professionals support Evolution’s strategy by balancing their skill sets between transaction and operational experience. Evolution’s Professionals have invested through different economic cycles and, as a result, recognize the difference between building long-term value through operational excellence and chasing fads. Evolution has an operations-focused culture that understands that success will be the result of understanding the details of the businesses in which the Fund invests and using the knowledge gleaned from the detail to support the management team and their vision for growth. As small business owners ourselves, we appreciate that talented management teams are not looking for a boss, but rather a collaborative and honest relationship where each partner needs to bring something to the table. We only pursue those opportunities where we believe this type of relationship is evident.

Board of Advisors
Evolution’s Board of Advisors not only provides strategic advice and guidance, but also actively participates in helping Evolution deliver on its promises to its investors and portfolio companies. The additional scrutiny from our Board of Advisors facilitates a more rigorous and objective view of opportunities and risks for new and existing investments.

Operating Advisors
Evolution’s Operating Advisors are proven value creators who have experience with strategic planning, day-to-day operations and profit and loss responsibility. Our Operating Advisors provide an extra set of eyes, opinions and experiences from which our management teams and ourselves benefit.

Fund Advisors
Evolution’s Fund Advisors provide advice and counsel to the Professional’s on strategic planning, investment decisions including exits, FASB 157, valuation and generally cause a higher level of scrutiny on all aspects of Fund management.
