Company Overview:

TheMilVet is partnered with PE clients who are consolidating fragmented industries across America. These are industries that have no national presence or brands that dominate the market. Our PE partners create value through consolidation and quickly scaling the core business in a high growth environment. As an example, a sister portco in this fund grew its revenue from $0 to $2B in 4 years and after 300+ acquisitions.
