Our History

With over 25 years’ experience, ScaleCo and its predecessors have acquired 20 profitable companies with sustained track records of success across multiple industries. Subsequently, these acquisitions were scaled and professionalized in preparation for sale to sophisticated buyers. Multiple successful investments utilized an Operating Partner to scale the business model.

Chicago

From 1988 to 1995,  a group of mentors backed Brendan Anderson in several deals investing over 8 million dollars.

First Business

In 1998, through an advertisement in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mr. Anderson purchased Stam, Inc., a company with about 50 employees.

Evolution Capital

In 2006, Evolution Capital Partners was founded to extend the model learned in Chicago and at Stam.

ScaleCo

In 2018, ScaleCo was founded to build upon the success of Evolution Capital while increasing engagement with platforms.

Our Investment Strategy

ScaleCo looks for profitable companies that have experienced plateaued growth. We match these companies with an experienced Operating Partner, working closely with management to develop a shared vision and growth plan. 

People

Investment decisions are dependent on identifying a well-suited Operating Partner. ScaleCo’s leverage comes from the Operating Partner’s passion for the platform opportunity and industry, vision for the investment ahead, and efforts to transform the organization. Our ‘Scale Community’ exudes our core values; Humble, Hungry, People-Smart, Passion for Entrepreneurship (HH&PE). At ScaleCo, we believe gathering a wide network of HH&PE people will cultivate transformational relationships and opportunities for the Scale Community creating a natural compounding effect.
