Founder
Lincoln Gibbs – Entrepreneur | Acquisition Partner | Blue-Collar Business Builder
Lincoln Gibbs is an entrepreneur and operator-investor focused on acquiring and scaling blue-collar businesses in the construction, industrial services, and manufacturing trades. He comes from a hands-on, blue-collar background — raised on a dairy farm near Dubuque, Iowa — and understands firsthand the pride, sacrifice, and grit it takes to build a successful business from the ground up.
With over a decade of experience in M&A, operations, and finance — including work with J.P. Morgan, Parthenon Capital, and Brightstar Capital Partners — Lincoln has led acquisitions, integrations, and financial strategy for companies ranging from $10M to $6B+ in revenue. One key highlight was building the 2nd largest Bobcat Compact Construction Equipment Dealership Group in N.A. with now 30+ locations.
Lincoln isn’t a private equity fund or a corporate consolidator. He’s an entrepreneurial buyer who partners directly with business owners to protect their legacy, take care of their team, and grow the business with long-term vision. His approach is personal, thoughtful, and committed to the people behind the work.

- Construction, fabrication, Ag, or specialty trade companies
