Most people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are probably not contemplating a career as an independent sponsor, and, if they do, they probably wish they were in Dallas or Chicago. But, if they listen to this episode, they might learn that being in Milwaukee is a differentiator and potential key to success.
Borgman Capital is headquartered in Milwaukee with a second office in Minneapolis. You would expect them to plan future hubs in locations like Chicago, Dallas, or New York, where you find the highest concentration of talent, capital partners, professional service providers, and deal activity.
However, instead of focusing on large metropolitan areas, Sequoya Borgman points to cities like Portland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines, and Omaha. In his view, these markets offer less competition for deals, access to local brokers and business owners, and more room to carve out a dominant position.
