About Us
A Founder-First Independent Sponsor
O&T Holdings isn’t a traditional fund. We invest on a deal-by-deal basis, partnering directly with founders and management to preserve their legacy and unlock future potential.
Devin Blondes, Managing Partner, brings over 15 years in growth equity across the UK, Europe, and North America, including 10 years at Macquarie. Backed by a network of seasoned operators and co-investors, Devin delivers hands-on support in strategy, operations, and growth initiatives.
We believe in low-ego collaboration, clear alignment of interests, and transparent communication, so that every partnership thrives.
Investment Criteria


We partner with UK-based businesses that are ready for their next chapter. We look for companies with:
01
Strong Foundations
Businesses with established, defensible positions in their niche markets.
03
Healthy Performance
Typically, businesses with revenues between £5M and £50M, generating £1M to £5M in annual operating profit (EBITDA), with actual or potential profit margins of 10% or more.
02
Growth Potential
Companies with scalable models that don't require heavy upfront spending (capex-light) and show potential for near-term double-digit growth. We prefer sectors with strong market tailwinds.
04
People-First
We value continuity of management post-transaction, ensuring the team that built the business remains integral to its future success.
