What Our Entrepreneurs Say
-
“I chose Northspring Partners because it's led by Nate and Marshall—two former searchers who achieved incredible results. Their balanced experience in both investing and operating immediately stood out to me, and I felt confident it would add tremendous value to my search and operating journeys. Most importantly, they’re excellent human beings who embody the search fund ecosystem's “pay it forward” ethos.”

"I chose to work with Northspring Partners because of Marshall and Nate. Both have been successful search fund entrepreneurs and are dedicated mentors to search entrepreneurs, like myself."
Jineet Gandhi
-
"When starting my fund, I knew I wanted to be the owner/operator of a small business, but I also knew I would need help from experienced investors to find and evaluate opportunities. When looking at companies I usually call Northspring Partners for advice. Their help has been immensely valuable."
Chris Kinner
-
"I love being an entrepreneur - building teams, solving problems, making an impact, and generating wealth - it excites me. ETA not only allows us to be entrepreneurs, but also brings mentorship and wisdom from investors and board members. The learnings from them are priceless."
Fiona Yu
-
"Growing up in a small town, with two parents that ran small businesses I was able to see first hand the positive impact they had on the local community. I want to buy one great business that I can help grow which will in turn support local employees and the community.
Steve Shamanski
-
"I’ve known Marshall for nearly a decade and have always valued his insights and support. Even when he wasn’t in my first deal, he was incredibly helpful. When it came time for the encore, I knew I wanted Marshall and Nate in my corner."
Raj Mahajan
-
"Marshall and Nate struck us as totally down-to-earth investors with meaningful operating experience and a great network of connections cross industries. We have felt energized and wiser from every conversation with them."
Chris Aholt
-
"I knew I wanted to run business for a long time, and search clearly provided the best path to that end. Not only is this path quicker, but it surrounds you with experienced mentors and entrepreneurs who are literally invested in your success."
Brett Sleyster
-
"Marshall and Nathan have been through the search journey themselves, so they get the challenges, uncertainties, and big wins that come with it. They combine sharp analysis with real empathy, offering not just expert guidance but genuine support. With their mix of experience, insight, and a human-centered approach, they’re invaluable partners for anyone navigating the search process."
