The Cambium Approach
Cambium Investments is a small, private firm that invests in family-owned businesses with great reputations. We take a unique approach to investing:
We are curious.
We ask questions. We listen in order to learn. We don’t come to the table with all of the answers or a 30-step program.
We believe profits follow purpose.
We are attracted to purpose-driven founders and entrepreneurs who are excited about why they do what they do. We believe employees and customers feel the same and we seek to preserve that spirit.
We think long-term.
We’re not interested in cutting our way to growth or the quick flip. We have a long-term mindset and make decisions accordingly.
We work.
We don’t sit high up in our mighty tower and shout down ideas. Truth be told, we don’t own a tower, nor do we want one. We are operators at our core and we love busting out of our office and getting our hands dirty with the team.
We are in this together.
Organizational change can be difficult for everyone involved - owners, employees, customers and suppliers. Structuring a transaction that is lopsided is a great way to quickly erode trust and create instability. We invest in companies that want to quickly hunt down and capture the elusive win-win deal with us.
