Stone-Goff Partners is a private equity investment firm that acquires and builds companies in the lower middle market. Stone-Goff focuses on two distinct sets of opportunities – founder-owned businesses and corporate carve-outs. Stone-Goff identifies transactions that allow us to differentiate ourselves as a buyer, which typically results in attractively priced opportunities – “winnable value.”
