What is The Harvest Group?
The Harvest Group (THG) is an operations-focused capital investment team that works with established founders to create unique business opportunities. Driven by years of small-business success and operational excellence, THG is uniquely qualified to help lower middle-market companies unleash the full potential of the business.
Buy. Build. Hold.
We know how much a business means to its founders. That’s why THG pursues a buy, build, and hold investment strategy – partnering with founders to create long-term opportunities for their families, customers, communities, and employees alike.
Investing with an operator’s mindset.
Ricky Paradise, THG’s Founder, is a seasoned operator who has grown several lower middle-market companies into industry-leading performers. Driven by faith, family, and a Midwestern work ethic, Ricky leads THG’s investment strategy inside of a non-traditional evaluation experience that values potential over profits.
“For as long as I can remember – I have always been motivated by the challenge of making things work better. From people to processes and everything in between, this is what makes The Harvest Group unique, and it’s a privilege to be able to share it with the founders who partner with us.”
