Company Overview

Confluent Holdings LLC is a holding company based in St. Louis, Missouri, that acquires and builds leading small and medium sized businesses throughout the United States. Above all else, we are dedicated to our following guiding principles:

• Operating at the highest level of integrity in all aspects of business and cooperation;
• Creating long-term value for all of our constituents, principally by building each acquired business through organic and acquisitive growth;
• Contributing to the development of the communities in which our businesses operate, and;
• Building upon the legacy of each acquired company's former owner.

Unlike individual investors, we have the resources, capital, contacts, performance improvement systems and experience to efficiently and effectively acquire, build and Coordinate businesses. Unlike traditional private equity firms, Confluent exists to serve a variety of constituents, including employees, customers and suppliers, and founders and former business owners. Our investment horizon is indefinite, so we do not acquire businesses with the intention of quickly reselling them; rather, we invest in our businesses to facilitate stable, long-term growth.
