Helping Founders Exit on Their Own Terms.

Shimmo Capital is a search fund founded by Jamie Michaelis, a former 2x business operator and Columbia Business School MBA.

Our goal is to acquire one great business from an owner ready to move on, then run it for the long term.

We are not a private equity firm flipping companies on a five-year clock. When an owner has spent decades building something that works, what matters is who takes over and whether the business is still recognizable in ten years. Jamie has sat on the owner's side of the table as a founder and operator, and knows what it takes to run a company day to day.
