CEO Alliance Program

Let’s find a business and
build something together.

The CEO Alliance Program: the clear approach to partnership.

Up to now, your career has been a prologue to this moment. You’ve been there and done that. You’ve been promoted, you’ve led and you’ve achieved results. Now it’s time to take your industry-specific expertise and apply it to a business that we can find and acquire together.

Often, our investment strategy is to partner with existing management teams in running their own companies. But ClearLight also invests in private companies in another way—we back a person with a plan. The CEO Alliance Program is designed for the experienced, passionate executive who has a vision to acquire and create value in a company that has untapped potential or can serve as a platform for further acquisitions. ClearLight helps identify and buy companies, recruit managers and shape strategy with the CEO. Together we work to buy and build a significant business under your leadership.
