Build companies that keep the world running

We are a a long-term holding company acquiring and operating mission-critical B2B services businesses in the lower middle market.


We are owner-operators who take a hands-on approach to managing our portfolio. CSG emerged out of Will Thorndike’s family office- an investment partnership with a track record equivalent to the top 1% of private equity firms nationally.

A culture of ownership

Partnership

We build lasting relationships grounded in trust, transparency, and shared ambition. Every success at CSG is collective, achieved through collaboration and mutual accountability.

Ownership

We think and act like long-term owners, not short-term investors. Our teams take responsibility for outcomes, stay close to operations, and make decisions with a generational mindset.

EXCELLENCE

We hold ourselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. We value precision, continuous improvement, and an unwavering commitment to quality in everything we do.

DRIVE

We move fast, stay curious, and embrace challenges. Our people are builders at heart—high-energy operators who combine discipline with entrepreneurial grit.
