Testimonial
In 2017, Pamoja Capital invested in Boxwood Holdings (“Boxwood”), a search fund founded by Alexandra MacBain’s brother, Charles. In 2018, Boxwood acquired a majority stake in NordHealth, a veterinarian healthcare practice management software company in Finland. NordHealth’s founder, Janne Huttunen, shares what his experience has been like working with Charles and Pamoja Capital:
“Charles and Pamoja Capital were able to solve our succession issues and have used their resources to help us think bigger. Since acquisition we have been able to grow NordHealth’s revenue over 100% per annum organically and through acquisitions, to think longer term, to become more international and to recruit great new talent to the company. It’s been quite an adventure!
There are so many short term investment funds out there that only care about maximizing short term profits. Charles and Pamoja Capital think long term and care deeply about our customers and our employees. It’s a refreshing approach.”
