River Ewing of Hadley Family Capital is Mario Nigro’s guest in this episode. Hadley has evolved from a manufacturing business into a diversified “family office” investor that focuses on supporting searchers in Canada and the United States. River highlights the unique advantages family offices bring to the search fund ecosystem, including flexibility and a deep understanding of small-enterprise entrepreneurship. Hadley is industry-agnostic, targeting traditional searches in the $1-5 million EBITDA range and favouring businesses with strong governance structures. Canada’s unique search fund ecosystem is expanding, particularly in the self-funded segment. Hadley sees vast opportunities in Canada and River anticipates continued growth of self-funded searchers, regardless of tariffs and other economic concerns.
