Madore & Co., the independent sponsor practice of Joshua Aceves
Independent Sponsor
Madore & Co. is the independent sponsor practice of Joshua Aceves, a solo business buyer acquiring enduring small businesses in Southern California.
01 / Approach
One company. One transaction at a time.
Madore & Co. is an independent sponsor. That means one person, founder Joshua Aceves, sources the opportunity first and then assembles the right capital for that specific transaction. There is no committed fund, no pooled investor capital, and no outside investors until a specific acquisition is under contract.
We source the opportunity first, then assemble the right capital for that specific transaction. This deal-by-deal model keeps the mandate focused and the structure aligned with the business at hand.
