Founded in 1990, Osage Industries is an acquirer of manufacturers and value-added distributors in the middle market. Because it solely invests the capital of its founding family, it subscribes to an extreme buy and hold philosophy; the business model requires no divestitures of successful companies. As a result, we are strongly motivated by our relationship with selling management, and prefer opportunities where the sellers stay with the company.
Osage Ventures is a venture capital fund that seeks to invest in determined and creative entrepreneurs that have a unique concept or product. Osage works closely to mentor entrepreneurs and assists them in building businesses from ideas. Building value is of primary importance to Osage, and we will invest the necessary time and capital to grow a business, irrespective of the future exit date. To date, Osage has seeded companies across a broad range of industries, many of which became publicly traded entities.
