Growth entrepreneurs building great businesses.
Explora Partners is an entrepreneurial investment firm that manages and grows small to medium-sized businesses for the long-term. Founded by Cyrus Symoom and Jake Dancyger, Explora is a team of hands-on, growth-minded entrepreneurs who believe lasting success is rooted in integrity, passion, humility, and hard work.
We focus all of our time, energy and capital into partnering with a transitioning owner to operate and own businesses for many years to come. We provide business owners with an exit and a succession plan so that they can preserve their legacy and discover the next adventure in their lives.
About Us
We are entrepreneurs with a shared passion for adventure and exploration which led to a partnership in building businesses. For us, growing businesses is the ultimate adventure. We are not a private equity firm - we are owners and explorers.
Explora builds upon the legacy of an owner. We focus on North American businesses with annual revenue above $5M ($2M ARR for Software) in business services, tech-enabled services, distribution and consumer products, and opportunistically assess other industries.
Our Offering
Selling a business is one of the most important events of an owner’s life, and selecting the right buyer is critical to preserving what has been built.
We believe we offer a unique opportunity for owners looking to sell. We bring committed capital, flexible terms, and a highly skilled and experienced executive team that will enter the day-to-day operations of the business, prioritizing sustainable long-term growth.
Our Team
Our team consists of real operators who have built successful businesses across the technology, consumer products, business services and logistics industries with additional experience in general management, consulting and finance.
We are supported by an advisory committee of impressive entrepreneurs, industry executives and private company investors committed to growing great businesses alongside us.
