PARTNERING TO ADVANCE
INDUSTRY & TECHNOLOGY FORWARD
Top Five Inc. has been partnering with Industry and Technology partners to foster growth and provide value since 2006. Our experience includes both successful growth and successful exits since our inception.
Mature Industrial Segments – We start with investing in individuals that have executive level experience with proven market contacts in their chosen industry. We assist these partners in helping leverage their pre-existing network to develop and implement business case strategies. We also provide initial and ongoing investment to help these relationships grow. At Top Five we are active investors working directly with our partners to implement and foster strategic managed growth.
Advance Technology Segments – In addition to investing in mature industrial markets, Top Five also looks to invest in emerging markets helping to advance technologies that will lead future industrial growth. Top Five investments have led to several market disruptions in transportation markets and other key market segments. We are currently investing in advanced material technology as well as other technology in the EV and Autonomous space.
WHAT WE DO
Top Five has 2 primary investment strategies. First, we seek to invest in mature industrial markets in strong growth segments. Second, we seek to invest in advance technology markets that impact emerging market segments such as EV, Autonomous and Advanced Material.​
