The strategy
Greenhaven Partners buys and builds specialty information businesses that can thrive in the digital media marketplace. We believe that the information industry is going through a fundamental shift and that many traditional competitors will be displaced by new companies that are able to innovate and reinvent their information products and services and adapt new technologies to improve how they market and sell their solutions.
We work closely with our entrepreneurial partners to prioritize and seize these opportunities via organic growth and acquisition opportunities.
We are active board members of our businesses, typically helping to develop strategy, determine investment priorities and budgets and recruit new talent.
We believe that value-added information and insight can cut across media and geographies. To be successful, however, our businesses must continually adapt to changing technology and information consumption behavior.
The partners have built businesses around the globe in a variety of media, including:
- Web sites and online communities
- Conferences and Seminars
- E-Zines
- Magazines
- Directories
- Databases
- Software
- Newsletters
- Executive peer networks
- Syndicated market research
- Advisory and consulting services
