Davenforth was founded in 2012 by Bradley Roofner and Logan Brown. The first iteration of the Davenforth firm, Davenforth Fundamental Investments, served a small group of high-net-worth individuals by investing capital into the public markets. The firm focused on small cap companies and eventually put capital towards micro activism, where it would buy up meaningful shares of very small companies and pressure underperforming management teams to unlock value for shareholders. After this experience, the firm added a third partner, Kade Thomas, as the company pivoted to pursuing the purchase of a single operating company in the commercial services industry. Kade brought a strong skillset to the firm and rounded out the partnership's value proposition to investors as a management team. In 2017, Kade, Bradley, and Logan acquired a commercial landscaping company (WLE) under the Davenforth Acquisition Group banner. The partnership considerably grew the recurring revenue of WLE to a scale that garnered the interest of a public company, BrightView (NYSE:BV), who acquired the business in 2020.

After integrating WLE with BrightView's operation, the three partners took time to explore independent interests and recharge from the toll of growing a large commercial services firm. After this sabbatical, Bradley and Logan returned to Davenforth to start a family office that focuses on a variety of investing activities. Kade ventured to further pursue a career in investing, real estate, and actively operating/growing commercial services firms, with multiple assets in several geographies. Today, Davenforth consists of both Bradley and Logan who make up Davenforth Capital, a firm devoted to finding, capitalizing, and transforming small to mid-sized businesses. Davenforth Capital has an open mandate to take minority, majority, and wholly-owned stakes in operating companies. Our goal is to put our own capital to work in a family office format, with the ability to flex in and out of operating roles as the businesses require over the long run. After the blessing of our sale, our hope is to put this capital to work in a way that meaningfully allows us to leave a legacy of generosity, growth, and opportunity for those that work with us.
