550 Holdings is a long-term holding company that acquires and operates founder-led U.S. businesses with enduring business models and loyal teams. We hold great companies for decades, preserving their legacies, cultures, and the people that make them special.
We exist to empower people and organizations to reach their full potential—by providing founders with a trusted succession path and operators with a platform to lead with purpose.
Our vision is to be the best permanent home for enduring small businesses—and build a community of operators, investors, and employees who think in decades, not deals.
"550 Holdings is more than a name; it's where the journey began"
"While I was attending Stanford, 550 was the address of my home — a small apartment where late nights studying investors like Buffett and Mark Leonard sparked a vision: to build the Berkshire of SMBs. After building three companies and exiting my last, I realized I didn't want to build and sell again. I wanted to invest in other founders' companies to hold for the long term. To make a permanent home for the enduring small businesses that define America. 550 Holdings became both a personal origin and a promise."
— Jorge Quiroga, Founder
