Our approach

Essential work. Founder-built companies. A platform that compounds.

Restoration and capital improvement companies are often profitable, founder-owned and facing succession without a clear buyer. We acquire strong platforms, then add companies that make each other better.

  1. 01 Acquire

    Platform companies with $1M–$8M of EBITDA

    Proven teams, recurring demand and a reputation worth protecting in restoration and capital improvements.

  2. 02 Integrate

    Strategic bolt-ons, vertical and horizontal

    Add-ons that extend services, capacity and geography, running on shared systems and standards from day one.

  3. 03 Scale

    A portfolio that refers work to itself

    Companies that share customers, crews and capabilities, built toward $20M+ of EBITDA and a sale in five to seven years.

Our mission

Invest.

Disciplined, aligned capital. Sellers, operators and investors win together or not at all.

Impact.

Preserving jobs, legacies and local service in the communities these companies have served for decades.

Inspire.

Veteran leadership and mentorship that open the path to ownership for the next generation of operators.

Built from experience

Lessons from ownership, written into every deal.

Our founder has owned and run a restoration company. What that taught us shapes how we structure, underwrite and operate.

Aligned sellers

Sellers stay invested through equity rollover or earnouts tied to performance, so their best outcome is the company’s best outcome.

Revenue that transfers

Before closing, we map where revenue originates (referral partners, carrier programs, key accounts) and secure the relationships behind it.

Balanced demand

Residential and commercial, insurance and direct, so no single channel can stall the business.

Systems from day one

Documented SOPs, cloud management platforms and KPI dashboards in the first 100 days, the operating playbook we built at Restore Pro.

Leadership

Renan Cortez, Founder and CEO of Syndicate Venture Group

Renan Cortez

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Renan served twelve years in the U.S. Army, rising from combat medic to NCOIC of the Cardiology Service at Walter Reed. He has spent 19 years in the medical device industry with Medtronic and Abbott, holds an MBA from the University of Maryland’s Smith School, and completed Columbia Business School’s Private Equity and Venture Capital Program.

As owner-operator of Restore Pro, an $8.6M restoration company he acquired in November 2022, he rebuilt its operations around documented systems and won multi-million-dollar contracts with national homebuilders and multi-family developers. In October 2025 he negotiated the company’s return to its original owners. That experience is built into how SVG underwrites today.
