Pacific Lake Partners is an investment firm specializing in the search fund model, providing capital and strategic partnership to entrepreneurs acquiring and operating small to medium-sized businesses. The firm guides CEOs through the ownership lifecycle, from acquisition to operational growth, empowering operators to build substantial, enduring enterprises.
Coley Andrews and Jim Southern co-founded Pacific Lake in 2009. Their partnership originated from Andrews' interest in search funds during his Stanford MBA. They identified a distinct market need for a private equity fund exclusively supporting search funds and their acquired companies, a novel concept that shaped the firm’s strategic foundation.
The firm primarily serves ambitious entrepreneurs and CEOs undertaking search fund acquisitions. Pacific Lake Partners aims to be a pivotal enabler of entrepreneurship through acquisition, fostering an ecosystem where talented individuals achieve business ownership and long-term value creation, helping leaders build successful, high-quality businesses.
