Meet Mark
“I’m Mark Abramovich and
I started First Light Capital Partners, to acquire, operate and grow a business with revenues of between $5 and $50 million. This entire endeavor stands on these three pillars:"
Highest Ethical and Professional Standards
First Light holds the highest level of ethical and professional standards. Thus you are assured honest and prompt interactions.
We are prepared to work with you to purchase your business in a timely and confidential manner.
Single Acquisition
Single Point of Contact
First Light is led by a single entrepreneur, Mark Abramovich, who looks to acquire a single company. Following the acquisition, Mark will move into a leadership and operating role within that company.
Mark will be intimately involved in every step of the process which better ensures both a smooth transition and successful outcome for the seller and everyone involved.
Highly Successful Track Record
First Light's capital partners are comprised of about 20 investors most of whom are current and former CEOs with a very successful and long track record in acquiring small to medium sized businesses.
