GET TO KNOW US
About Us
Amina Grace Corporation is an independent sponsor that brings the principles of championship-winning sports teams to the world of private equity. Founded by a Wharton MBA candidate and former NFL player who was part of a Super Bowl-winning team, we approach business acquisitions and operations with the same level of preparation, positive attitude, and team-first mentality that define the most successful sports franchises.
Our Story
Our founder's journey from a 7th-round draft pick to an 11-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl champion was shaped by the incredible coaching he received from legends like Pete Carroll. The philosophies of renowned coaches such as Tony Dungy, Bill Walsh and John Wooden, who emphasized attention to detail, continuous improvement, and putting the team above individual interests, have had a profound influence on our approach to business.
Just as great coaches build winning cultures and bring out the best in their players, we aim to create an environment within our portfolio companies that fosters growth, innovation, and shared success. We believe that by applying the timeless principles of legendary coaches to the business world, we can unlock the untapped potential of lower middle market companies.
Our company is founded on three key principles, inspired by the team rules that propelled our founder to a Super Bowl victory:
1. Be Prepared: Like elite athletes who train tirelessly to perfect their craft, we conduct thorough due diligence and research to ensure we are well-equipped to tackle any challenge that comes our way.
2. Maintain a Positive Attitude: Just as championship teams maintain a belief in their ability to overcome adversity, we approach obstacles with a solution-oriented mindset and a focus on the opportunities that lie ahead.
3. Prioritize Team Success: In the mold of the most successful sports franchises, we operate with the understanding that the success of the team outweighs individual interests. We work to align the goals of all stakeholders, fostering a culture of collaboration and shared success.
Our Approach
As an independent sponsor, we have the flexibility to structure deals and partnerships in a way that aligns the interests of all stakeholders. We leverage our relationships with advisers, lenders, and strategic partners to enhance the value of our portfolio companies. Our operationally focused approach includes:
