Delivering impact while reflecting our values
Creating enduring value throughout our ecosystem with positive business principles
Our investment philosophy integrates key ESG principles into every investment, striving for our investments to not only generate financial returns but also contribute to broader societal value.
Upholding Ethical Standards
At Everside, we believe that ethical decision-making is the foundation of meaningful and sustainable growth. Our investments prioritize integrity, transparency, and accountability, seeking to not only drive financial returns but also foster trust and long-term value for all stakeholders. These align with our commitment to become a Certified B-Corp in July 2022. By adhering to these principles, we create a ripple effect that help create responsible business practices across the industries and communities we touch.
Backing Diverse Ownership
Everside recognizes that businesses with diverse ownership and leadership often outperform by bringing fresh ideas, perspectives, and approaches to the table. By investing in companies owned and led by women, minorities, and veterans, we unlock untapped potential while driving meaningful financial outcomes. We welcome the opportunity to support these businesses as they innovate, grow, and deliver strong returns, demonstrating that diversity is not just a value but also a competitive advantage.
Supporting Small Businesses
Everside invests in small businesses because their impact on local economies is often outsized. These businesses create jobs, foster community pride, and serve as essential pillars in their regions. Their close-knit teams frequently exhibit heightened loyalty and pride in their work, which translates into superior products and services. This combination of community impact and operational excellence not only strengthens local economies but can also create attractive investment outcomes for our stakeholders.
Facilitating Job Growth
Job creation is at the heart of economic prosperity, and Everside is proud to invest in businesses that generate meaningful employment opportunities. Our capital supports companies poised for expansion, helping them hire, train, and retain talent across the U.S. In doing so, we drive not just individual success stories, but also the broader economic growth that fuels thriving communities.
Reaching Underserved Markets
Everside sees opportunity where others may not. Underserved markets—rural areas, low-to-moderate income neighborhoods, and government-designated opportunity zones—are attractive because they are often overlooked: we believe in their potential for growth and transformation. These regions can also be full of resilient businesses, untapped talent and critical services. By investing in these areas, we look to unlock that potential, fostering economic development, driving meaningful local impact, and seek to generate strong returns for investors.
