Driving value through growth.
Hive Capital is looking to acquire, operate, and grow one great company.
We are a group of entrepreneurs, operators and investors committed to a long-term, hands-on management approach that will ensure the company's continued growth and success.
After purchasing the business, Daniel Besquin, the founder and managing partner, will take an executive leadership role to manage the operations. With the support of Hive’s seasoned investment team, Daniel plans to leverage his skills, passion, and dedication to sustainably grow the business.
We will become stewards of the business, protecting your legacy and taking care of your employees and customers.
We are not managing an investment portfolio, which means we will be fully dedicated to the company. We will roll up our sleeves, and take responsibility from day one!
