Operators, not outsiders
We’ve lived the full cycle: starting companies, scaling them with care, and exiting well when the timing was right. That experience shapes how we buy and how we treat what we inherit.
Fort Worth · Local owners · All-in
Finding the next Fort Worth business we’re meant to own and grow.
We’re Shane Fay and Dr. Caitlyn Mullins — married partners and hometown operators investing our lives in acquiring and stewarding local small businesses.
Introduce us
Hometown operators. All-in owners.
Shane Fay and Dr. Caitlyn Mullins are investing their lives in Fort Worth in the work they love: owning and growing local small businesses. Married partners and hometown operators, they start companies, scale them with care, and know what it takes to exit well when the timing is right. Today they put that experience to work acquiring and growing Fort Worth businesses — staying close to the community, close to the work, and all-in as owners.
What we’re looking for
Established Fort Worth–area businesses ready for a thoughtful transition.
We’re drawn to healthy local companies with loyal customers, a solid team, and room to grow — and to sellers who want a partner who will protect what they’ve built.
-
Rooted locally
Fort Worth–area small businesses with a real presence in the community — not remote roll-ups or brands without a home.
-
Loyal customers & team
Healthy companies where people already care — customers who return, and a team worth investing in.
-
Room to grow
Solid foundations with clear runway — operations that can scale with care, not pressure to flip.
-
Thoughtful succession
Open to retirement, succession, or a co-owner who will protect the reputation and relationships you’ve earned.
Why us
Not a distant fund. Not a flip shop.
We’re Fort Worth neighbors who have started, scaled, and successfully exited. Sellers get owners who show up — and keep the business rooted here.
Married partners, aligned owners
Two decision-makers, one shared life and one shared commitment to Fort Worth. You’re not dealing with a rotating cast of associates — you’re dealing with us.
Stay close to the work
We stay close to the community, close to the work, and all-in as owners. The goal isn’t a quick flip; it’s stewardship that keeps the business belonging here.
Contact
Let’s talk — confidentially.
If you’re exploring a sale, succession, or a partner who will protect what you’ve built, we’d welcome a quiet conversation. Nothing leaves this circle without your say-so.
