About Us
A Founder-First Independent Sponsor
O&T Holdings isn’t a traditional fund. We invest on a deal-by-deal basis, partnering directly with founders and management to preserve their legacy and unlock future potential.
​
Devin Blondes, Managing Partner, brings over 15 years in growth equity across the UK, Europe, and North America, including 10 years at Macquarie. Backed by a network of seasoned operators and co-investors, Devin delivers hands-on support in strategy, operations, and growth initiatives.
We believe in low-ego collaboration, clear alignment of interests, and transparent communication, so that every partnership thrives.
Investment Criteria
We partner with UK-based businesses that are ready for their next chapter. We look for companies with:
01
Strong Foundations
Businesses with established, defensible positions in their niche markets.
03
Healthy Performance
Typically, businesses with revenues between £5M and £50M, generating £1M to £5M in annual operating profit (EBITDA), with actual or potential profit margins of 10% or more.
02
Growth Potential
Companies with scalable models that don't require heavy upfront spending (capex-light) and show potential for near-term double-digit growth. We prefer sectors with strong market tailwinds.
04
People-First
We value continuity of management post-transaction, ensuring the team that built the business remains integral to its future success.
