The math behind a fund cycle
A PE-backed modular company is typically five years into a seven-year fund cycle when you meet them.
- — Decisions slow as the firm preps for exit
- — Warranties get harder to enforce after ownership changes
- — Customer service becomes a cost center
- — Your project becomes a portfolio line item
How we work differently
Clever is 100% family-owned and profitable. We answer to customers, not investors.
- Our owners are still in the factory
- Decisions move in days, not quarters
- Warranties honored because we plan to be here
- We say no to the wrong customer
