We&#8217;re not a fund. We&#8217;re not flippers. We&#8217;re operators who\u2019ve been in the trenches and know what it takes to scale something that lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We partner with owners who are ready to grow, step back, or exit entirely\u2014without selling out their people or their values. Our approach is hands-on where it counts, silent where it doesn\u2019t. We protect what works, fix what doesn\u2019t, and build from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who We Are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>S. Stone Linton, Founder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I lead Twin Palm, and I&#8217;ve already done the thing I&#8217;m asking you to trust me with. I bought a service business, grew it, and exited it clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018 I founded Outsource Option, a platform built to acquire and scale. I bought Dave&#8217;s Pool &amp; Spa, a commercial pool company in Clermont doing about $600K a year on four employees and three trucks, and ran it from the truck up. In 2019 I acquired All Pool Service &amp; Supply, a residential operation that had served the same community since 1971, with 500-plus accounts and a name people already trusted. I rolled both into the platform, absorbed smaller operators and their accounts along the way, built out repair and renovation divisions, and by 2021 it was running roughly $6 million a year at a 50\/50 commercial-residential mix. Then I sold the company, a clean stock sale to a national consolidator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bought, rolled up, scaled, exited. The full loop, in the exact kind of regulated, labor-driven service business Twin Palm backs today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been the guy in the field at 5 a.m., the one cutting checks on Friday, and the one who picks up the phone when things go sideways. Before pools came the Army, where I served as a logistics officer in Iraq, then stretches at Hensel Phelps in large-scale construction and Mectra Labs in medical-device R&amp;D. The MBA&#8217;s real. The lessons that stuck weren&#8217;t on the syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want the full version, every mess and lesson behind those numbers, I wrote it down: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/stonelinton.com\/people-pools-profit\/\">A Platform for People, Pools &amp; Profit<\/a><\/em>. It&#8217;s where the scars live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our Investment Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every deal is different. But here\u2019s what never changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>We back cash-flowing businesses.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We structure deals for alignment and sustainability.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We prioritize people over polish.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We stay focused on long-term value.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How We Partner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We offer flexible investment structures based on where you are and where you want to go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Growth Capital:<\/strong> You stay in control. We fund your next stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minority Partnerships:<\/strong> We bring capital and strategic support\u2014you keep majority ownership.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Majority Buy-Ins:<\/strong> Shared control with clear lanes, aligned incentives, and operational firepower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full Buy-Outs:<\/strong> Clean exits for founders who want to protect their people, their name, and their legacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re selling to the highest bidder, we\u2019re not your buyer. If you care who takes over, we should talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What We Look For<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Service Businesses:<\/strong> HVAC, pools, plumbing, landscaping, janitorial, specialty trades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Construction &amp; Maintenance:<\/strong> Niche contractors, recurring routes, B2B or B2C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manufacturing &amp; Fabrication:<\/strong> Local or regional players with sticky customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical deal size: $500K to $5M in annual revenue. Strong fundamentals. Real people. Real work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Matters to Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cash Flow Discipline:<\/strong> Predictable earnings. Clean books. No games.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strong Teams:<\/strong> Operators who care. Employees worth keeping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeatable Systems:<\/strong> SOPs over heroics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visible Growth Paths:<\/strong> We want to scale\u2014with or without you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We Believe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Legacy matters more than logos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alignment is earned, not assumed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your team is part of the deal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structure beats sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it only works when you&#8217;re there, it doesn&#8217;t work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let\u2019s Be Clear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t invest in pre-revenue ideas, someday stories, or shiny decks with no execution. We\u2019re not handing out grants. We\u2019re not your daddy. We\u2019re a partner\u2014if the deal works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How We Think<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t chase unicorns. We buy cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Twin Palm Holdings, we play to win\u2014not to perform.<br>If you want to understand how we see the game, read <em><a href=\"https:\/\/stonelinton.com\/2025\/07\/31\/678\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/stonelinton.com\/2025\/07\/31\/678\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Play to Win. Don\u2019t KISS Unicorns.<\/a><\/em> \u2014 it\u2019s a short piece about why execution beats originality, and why boring, profitable businesses build real freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll see exactly why we back operators, not dreamers\u2014and why innovation only matters <em>after<\/em> cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advisory &amp; Consulting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every conversation leads to a deal\u2014and that\u2019s fine.<br>Sometimes what a founder really needs isn\u2019t capital. It\u2019s clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re wrestling with structure, pricing, systems, or succession\u2014and want a seasoned operator\u2019s perspective without giving up equity\u2014here\u2019s how I work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>$500\/hour &#8211; one-off calls and gut-checks<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-day \/ on-site &#8211; quoted by scope<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All prepaid. Straight talk\u2014no decks, no fluff. I don&#8217;t ask for NDAs; if you want one, I&#8217;ll sign it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sessions are for operators who need to cut through noise and get to the truth fast. Paid advice gets implemented. Free advice gets nodded at and shelved. The fee isn&#8217;t a gate; it&#8217;s a filter for people who&#8217;ll actually move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for free advice, I\u2019ve already written most of it at <a href=\"http:\/\/stonelinton.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/stonelinton.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Because It\u2019s Me<\/em><\/a>.
