Commercial Due Diligence
Los Angeles, CA
Our client is a PE firm and family office with decades of history investing in lower middle market private companies. The firm’s investment activities span search funds, venture capital, and growth equity. They are a pioneer of the search fund investment model.
ECA Partners was retained because of our ability to understand nuanced and net new roles, in addition to ECA’s ability to identify “rockstar” talent with strong management consulting backgrounds. We successfully placed an ideal investment principal to lead the expansion of the firm’s portfolio by championing and recruiting searchers. Once on the ground, the Principal was able to identify and recruit high-potential CEOs, then help those CEOs identify businesses that the firm will acquire and place the CEO in charge of AND mentor the CEOs and monitor the businesses as they grow.

“ECA’s management consulting-style quality and processes helped us identify and select the best candidate, fast.”
“ECA understood our unique requirements and delivered great candidates with the right skills, personality and attitude. I would highly recommend partnering with them.”
“ECA is different in the way they manage the entire search process. For our team, this meant a detailed upfront understanding of our business, systematic candidate outreach, interviews, analytical assessments, scheduling support, and offer management. This helped us spend time with only the best candidates.”
“We engaged ECA for a subsidiary company CEO search. We chose ECA because of their experience in private equity and their commitment to both a tight timeframe and options by funneling a large volume of candidates from their network. What surprised me most though was how they took the time to truly understand the business and its culture, which is so absolutely critical when it comes to key talent decisions. The search process ended with three superior candidates.”
“ECA has by far the best process. They were transparent upfront that they had never done a VP Engineering search before, but they asked good questions, quickly learned what they needed to, and were great thought partners in the evolution of our thinking on which profiles would be best. We’ll definitely call them for future senior leadership searches and project consultant needs.”
