ABOUT US
It’s More Than a Transaction, it’s a Commitment to the Extraordinary
Our Founder & Chairman, Rob Follows, created STS Capital Partners in 2003, after he sold his business the conventional M&A way and felt the experience was reduced to a mere transaction. He resolved to fix the M&A process and make a sell-side stand on behalf of entrepreneurial business owners looking to exit by building a company that combined strategic selling with his passion for charitable donations to make the world a better place.
