Whetstone Holdings is a private investment firm that specializes in the acquisition of a single small business, typically in the B2B services sector, with the intent to operate and grow it over the long term. Unlike traditional private equity, Whetstone employs a hands-on approach, with its principals taking over daily management responsibilities post-acquisition. The firm was founded on the principle of providing a succession solution for business owners looking to transition out of their companies while ensuring the legacy and continued success of their enterprise.
