HAWK INFINITY – New owner, better life
Hawk is a founder-led company aiming to be the best home for other founder-led companies. We build further on what already works. We have no plan to cut cost, move the headquarter, or ever sell the company again. We only buy great businesses and aim to steadily grow cash flows brick-by-brick together. That simple.
As founders, we think the Hawk-approach is only logical, yet when it comes to buying and owning companies it is so different from the traditional way that it is very disruptive:
No Bullshit
We offer a different kind of transaction and ownership, a kind that probably is much more like how you run your business:
- Fast decisions. No slides. No committees that drive deal risk
- Management makes the calls when we own it, we support when you desire
- No bureaucracy, no reporting-hassle
Hawk is owned by founders, so we are free to only make decisions that are right for the company, not the fund structure, certain owners’ preferences or other agendas.
Freedom back to the founder
Most founders start for freedom. Most lose it along the way. We give it back to you:
- Exit and achieve more freedom, financially and in your daily workday
- You choose if you stay involved or not, either way we share the load
- Reinvest parts in Hawk for true partnership with the Hawk-team and other founders
You choose the path. We reduce the pressure. True partnership.
Compounding returns
Our compounding model is simple, yet has delivered ~40% annual return to shareholders over many years:
- Only buy good businesses that generate solid cash flow
- Help the companies grow profitably
- Use surplus cash flow from the companies to acquire more profitable businesses
The organic growth and cash flow from our companies, in addition to disciplined allocation of cash into new acquisitions, creates value creation driven by two strong engines.
Our approach is beneficial for the founders, the company and its employees and the customers. It is also beneficial for the local society because we believe in local growth and we aim to be a permanent home with no sale of the company again, ever. Compounding returns from Hawk’s portfolio of companies with strong cash flows, and rational capital allocation into new growth areas and acquisitions, is also great for the shareholders.
Simpler. Faster. Better.
