Craig Duper

Craig Duper, founding partner of Elan Growth Partners, discusses his innovative 'partner equity' approach, which aims to align incentives through high seller rollover. He explains how a 40%-49% rollover is key to minimizing risks in deals. Delving into the challenges faced when sellers can’t or won’t roll equity, Craig offers insights into filtering potential partners. He also emphasizes the importance of building robust fund-grade infrastructure, and shares a compelling case study of a successful battery-pack manufacturer exit that achieved a 3.21x net MOIC.
