Football season is here, and you've likely been stressing over your fantasy team. 🏈
Winning teams aren't built on 1 star. They're balanced with playmakers, communicators, & tone-setters.
Businesses work the same way. PE firms notice that balance.
Curious what they look for?

Big spotlight this week for 48North Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Chapin Newhard.
If you know him, then you know the ambition, passion, and dedication he brings to everything he does. His energy is magnetic.
And we couldn't forget his pup Nala (our team mascot)!
Nico García is relentless when it comes to sharpening our research engine.
He's always connecting the dots between high-quality research and actionable deals.
And if he's not testing out the latest AI model, he's likely cheering on Atlético Nacional... 🇨🇴📷

What better way to celebrate our 5 new hires than with a pickleball tournament?
We're thrilled to welcome 2 associates and 3 analysts to 48North!
Special shoutout to our summer analyst, George Gale, who left it all on the court and is wrapping up an awesome summer.
Onward!
Dylan's thoughtful and strategic quarterback mentality has quickly established him as a valuable team player at 48North. In just 6 months, he’s taken on a full slate of mandates, client relationships, and AI projects. He’s one to watch and we can’t wait to see what's to come.
If your business swings with the seasons, then a rough year can feel like it tanks your value.
Experienced buyers know this, so they look past the trailing 12 months and normalize across seasons.
Thinking about a future sale? Let's discuss what your business is really worth.
One year ago, Pablo Ospina joined 48North as research team member #2 in Medellín. It’s been incredible to see the impact he's made on our processes and culture so quickly.
Pablo brings unmatched curiosity and positivity to our team, every single day.
P.S. ¡Vamos Colombia! 🇨🇴⚽️
Very few individuals have a work ethic as impressive as Tucker Bruce's. He hits each day running FAST (literally - he ran a sub-3-hour marathon back in March).
Tucker is a team player who always goes the extra mile, and it certainly shows in his spotlight responses.
It’s been fun to see our team and office in Medellín, Colombia come to life! Big thank you to our friend Harry Ferguson who helped fill the blank walls with these two Middles art pieces.

The constraint in PE right now isn't capital. It's quality.
Dry powder has more than 2x since 2014.
When every firm is competing for the same assets, price goes up and edge disappears.
Winning firms aren't searching harder. They're sourcing smarter.
That's the work we do.
Isabella Busacca consistently sets the 48North standard for pushing pace. She lives our core values daily, bringing high energy and genuine care to each client call, conference, and team event. 48North wouldn’t be where we are today without her.

The American spirit is the belief that hard work, grit, and sacrifice can create something lasting. And it didn't come free. It was earned by people who gave everything, so we could chase something.
This weekend, we honor those who made it possible.
Thank you.
