ABOUT US

Entrepreneurially-driven holding company founded by Dean Schnider

Based in Los Angeles, we are highly selective, long-term minded, and employ a concentration (vs diversification) strategy

Umbrella is passionate about acquiring leading business in overlooked categories

We focus on niche (or 'boring’) businesses that are profitable ($2-7m EBITDA) and typically under-optimized

We look for companies with a durable moat and a product or service that has longevity, and results in happy and loyal customers

We partner with management teams and believe that if you take care of the employees, they will take care of the customers

Less focused on industry, we care more about the dynamics, ensuring that we have a strong point of view around value creation
