On a mission to partner with one great business owner for the long-term.

We are a search fund and a strategic partner for the next chapter of growth. Led by a motivated entrepreneur, we aim to own and operate a single stable business while preserving the owner’s legacy and reputation in the community.

Colin Kenney

Founder, Cothrom Capital

Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, Colin is the son of two small business owners and the youngest of four siblings. He attended Vanderbilt University, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Human & Organizational Development and Pre-Medical Studies, with a Minor in Financial Economics.

Choosing finance over med school, Colin first worked in investment banking at Petsky Prunier and Bank of America. Most recently, he served as an Associate in healthcare private equity at Linden Capital Partners and completed his MBA in Healthcare Management at Wharton.

He’s now excited to take the next step of the journey by operating a business that can create value for the existing owner and their community.

Our Process

Through a 30-minute video chat, we'll get to know each other, discuss your succession goals, and determine whether a mutual fit exists.
Colin will come to meet you where you are to introduce himself, but more importantly to learn about you, your family, and the business you've built.
Following the first few meetings, we'll mutually sign a letter of intent (LOI) to define the terms of our partnership and deal structure.
After signing the LOI, we'll begin a diligence period to more closely understand the ins-and-outs of your business (e.g., strategy, financials, operations, legal, etc.).
We'll begin the transition to new ownership alongside each other, growing your business for the long-term.

Investors and Advisors

We are a group of like-minded entrepreneurs, former CEOs, and investors. Colin, the Founder of Cothrom, is supported by his partners with mentorship, decades of experience building companies, and institutional capital for the long-term.
