Our Core Values

Commitment to Excellence

We aspire to be the best at all that we do. We never settle for the status quo, and we seek continuous improvement. We believe excellence is a behavior, not an achievement.

Teamwork

We work together to achieve more than we could on our own. We care for each other personally and professionally. No key decision is made alone; we are a partnership above all else.

Passion

We believe people succeed when they love what they do. Our team achieves fulfillment by working with successful entrepreneurs to build great businesses.

Integrity

We operate with honesty and transparency. We do what is right, not what is easiest. We live up to our word and deliver on our promises.

Discipline

We are dedicated to a consistent and repeatable process. We believe it is critical to set goals and use these goals to hold ourselves accountable.

Balance

We work hard and have fun. We learn from our losses but also celebrate our wins. Our team values humility, and we treat everyone with fairness and respect.

We Guarantee the Process, Not the Outcome

The Shore investment process and value creation strategy is based on the belief that when industry, management and a company are in alignment, we have an opportunity to drive transformational growth.
