What Springdale Industries buys

Springdale Industries is a permanent capital company that began operating in April 2025, with offices in New York and Tampa. It was founded by Jake Sloane and Frank Zhang, who also control a separate private equity manager, ZBS Partners. Springdale starts new platforms in industries made up of local businesses and partners with their owners. Owners sell part of the company, keep their brand and day-to-day control, and hold equity in their own business. With no fund clock, Springdale says it is not forced to sell on a set timeline.

Its own platforms so far are Liberty Paving Partners (commercial paving), Greenwood Advisors (advisers to veterinary practice owners) and Eagle Security Alliance (commercial security integrators), which received a commitment of more than $100 million in September 2026. It publishes no EBITDA or revenue range. The founders' earlier platforms began with very small businesses, including a vet clinic with about $700,000 of revenue, so a small paving or security company could be a realistic partner.

Greymont’s take

How Springdale Industries fits a seller

Springdale suits an owner who wants to take some money off the table but keep running the business under the same name. Its model is built around partial sales: owners keep equity in their own company and can receive payouts at closing, through yearly distributions and at later liquidity events. Because it uses permanent capital, it says no fund deadline will force a sale.

The platforms are young. Eagle Security Alliance closed its first partnership in June 2026, so early partners will help shape it. Owners should ask what percentage they would keep, how that equity can be turned into cash, and who sets the distributions. They should also ask how Springdale relates to ZBS Partners, because the same founders control both, and the better-known platforms such as Current and Shield Technology Partners belong to ZBS rather than Springdale.

Questions owners ask

Does Springdale Industries own Current or Shield Technology Partners?

No. Its own disclosure says Alliance Animal Health, Crete United, Legacy Service Partners, Current, Rocket Youth and Shield Technology Partners are investments of ZBS Partners, a manager controlled by the same founders, and not of Springdale.

What does an owner keep in a Springdale partnership?

Springdale says owners keep their brand, leadership and team, and retain meaningful equity in their own business. It does not publish the share owners keep, so that is a question to ask directly.

Which industries is Springdale active in?

Its own platforms cover commercial paving through Liberty Paving Partners, commercial security integration through Eagle Security Alliance, and advice for veterinary practice owners through Greenwood Advisors, which began with Ackerman Group.
