Agility depends on proximity.
One way to build agility is a simple outside-in intelligence system. Track the structural themes. Map the people closest to them. Build a small process for reviewing opportunities. Use co-investment conversations to understand where other Family Offices are leaning.
At Arondight, we sharpen that system for Family Offices. We research emerging themes, meet the GPs positioned around them, and surface opportunities aligned with Family Office mandates.
Here is the theme with the clearest math right now. McKinsey projects six million business ownership transitions by 2035 as boomers retire. More than one million of those firms are viable candidates for sale, representing up to $5 trillion in enterprise value, and most owners have no formal succession plan.
One fund we work with, Legacy Capital, is built for exactly this: profitable founder-owned lower middle market businesses entering succession, where value creation comes from better systems, AI adoption, revenue operations, and experienced operators.
