The Evergreen Acquistion

I'm an entrepreneur & investor looking to acquire and operate a quality business with my own capital in the Puget Sound, holding it for the long term.

Approach

My approach is best suited to a business owner who wants to transition ownership of their company to someone who will care deeply and work hard to preserve what they have built - including relationships with their employees, customers and community.I will take what you have built and continue your strong brand and reputation under a new generation of leadership. Unlike private equity firms, I will not simply roll up the assets of your company into a larger entity or aggressively cut costs to optimize for a short term exit - my goal is to hold for the long term and keep your brand & culture thriving and improving.Together with my advisors, we have the experience and capital to support an acquisition and successfully grow the business going forward.

Investment criteria

I'm seeking to acquire a businesses with the following characteristics:Location: Headquartered in the greater Seattle metro area - ideally near Snohomish.Size: Annual profits of $400K to $2M+ with a history of consistent profitability.Industries: Services with steady demand (home, industrial, mechanical, distribution, etc), or light manufacturing

Meet Lincoln Spencer

I love understanding how things work, and then finding ways to make them better.As a third-generation entrepreneur, I grew up working in my family's property management business at a young age and learned the value of hard work and a number of construction skills (electrical, plumbing, roofing, etc). As a teen I also worked at an auto repair shop and started side businesses doing locksmithing, sprinkler installation, and repairing & selling motorcycles and computers.After studying Information Systems at BYU, I worked in IT consulting and left to follow my passion and start and operate a motorcycle parts e-commerce business. To further my business and technical skills, I then completed a graduate dual-degree program (MBA and Master's in Industrial Engineering) at the University of Michigan.Most recently, I've spent 9 years leading a variety of teams at Boeing across manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering functions. I have matured as a leader and led high-visibility initiatives but am now ready to return to my entrepreneurial roots.I live near Snohomish, Washington with my wife Katy and three children. In my spare time, I enjoy adventures outdoors with my family, in particular riding motorcycles. I am also a powered paraglider pilot and snowmobiler.
