Our Story
Sagamore Mountain was founded with a simple belief: that great small businesses deserve a great permanent home. After seeing too many companies dismantled by short-term buyers, we set out to do things differently.
Rooted in long-term thinking and hands-on stewardship, Sagamore Mountain exists to honor the hard work of local owners and grow their companies with care—for decades to come.
​
We’re dedicated to Santa Barbara and the Central Coast, investing in the people and companies that make this region unique.
Our Criteria
1
Durable Earnings
We invest in businesses with a track record of consistent cash flow, strong fundamentals, and low debt—not startups or turnarounds.
2
Reliable Leadership
We value businesses with competent and loyal teams, strong customer relationships, and owners who care deeply about their legacy.
3
Clear Future
We own businesses we can picture 20 years from now— that fill lasting needs and aren’t dependent on trends or constant reinvention.
