The Woodson Way

The Intersection of
Innovation and Tenacity

Woodson Equity's inspiration comes from the relentlessly resilient culture of Detroit. Our name comes from combining two iconic streets in the city, Woodward Avenue and Jefferson Avenue, where the beauty of Detroit meets with its history of grit and booming innovation. We created Woodson to honor this spirit; that means challenging the status quo and following through with unrelenting perseverance that never stops until the job is done.

I'm proud of the team that we've curated at Woodson Equity. We have leaders from a variety of industries who bring their expertise to the table and help us stand apart. We're all entrepreneurs and operators at heart and our team's DNA exudes that operational excellence and grit.

Woodson’s focus is to be an inch wide and a mile deep as far as the operational expertise, knowledge, and network we bring to any potential acquisition. We are not generalists and every deal is not for us. Being hyper-selective about the opportunities we pursue allows us to close deals with speed and certainty and produces the quickest transformation at our portfolio companies.
