We Think And Act Differently.

Northrim Horizon has funding committed for decades, unburdening us from short-term pressures. Our structure and strategy enable us to protect sellers' legacies and build exceptional businesses the right way.

Seven Guiding Monuments

We’re committed to bringing together capital, culture, and high-performance teams. Our straightforward, transparent process for founders and management teams is focused on trust, aligning mutual goals, minimizing the impact on your team, and maximizing value to you.

1. Efficient
Process

We engage quickly on transaction opportunities. Within seven days of providing us requested financials, we plan to have an offer to you. Our process is friendly, transparent, and fast.

2. Fair Valuations & Equitable Terms

We don’t overpromise and underdeliver. We offer fair valuations, simple structures, and equitable terms that deliver what you deserve and are a win-win for both parties.

3. Moving You Forward

We are flexible to your desired role in the business post-transaction. We create a working partnership to determine the future role that you want.

4. Building Enduring Value

We don't "flip" businesses in 3-5 years. We believe that the best long-term results come from reinvesting earnings back into businesses and their people over decades.

5. Empowering Employees

We seek to provide our employees opportunities to learn, develop, take on new responsibilities, and be recognized. Happy, fulfilled people create outsized value for their families, communities, and companies.

6. Platform
Experts

Our successful track record and focus on investing in services and B2B software businesses run deep. We buy great businesses, give founders dream exits, and build upon their legacies.

7. Protect Your Legacy

Our investment model is designed for the long haul—guarding what you've built today and continuing to build for tomorrow.
