Cordell Jacks, Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition: Search Funds, Regenerative Business Models and the Silver Tsunami

In today’s episode, host Tyler Chisholm sits down with Cordell Jacks, CEO and General Partner of Regenerative Capital Group, to discuss an innovative approach to small business growth and sustainability. Cordell explains the Search Fund model, which focuses on empowering entrepreneurs to acquire and scale established SMEs rather than starting businesses from scratch. He details how this approach preserves valuable companies and integrates regenerative principles, such as employee share ownership and diverse leadership, into their operations. Cordell also provides insight into the recent launch of Regenerative Capital Group’s $25 million targeted closed fund, which has already raised $17.5 million. With $5 million invested by the Social Finance Fund of Canada, the initiative attracts significant family office support and positions itself as a game-changer for fostering sustainable and inclusive business practices.
