Key people at Pacific Lake Partners.
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.
