Investment Thesis

Meridian targets businesses generating USD 5–25M EBITDA in sectors characterized by fragmentation, recurring revenue, and mission-critical services. The team has proprietary sourcing relationships in industrial services, specialty distribution, and business services — segments where there is limited GP competition at the deal size and geography. Value creation is driven by operational improvements in the first 12–24 months, followed by bolt-on acquisitions and selective pricing optimization. The team averages 22 years of lower-MM buyout experience.
