Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Create My Wealth?
Vincent M. Racioppo, the founder and CEO, serves as the sole decision-maker. He built the firm after a decade in Goldman Sachs' merchant banking and distressed-debt groups, and he personally sources and closes every acquisition. No investment committee or external board governs his decisions.
How does Create My Wealth source its acquisition targets?
Deal flow comes entirely from proprietary channels. The firm relies on a network of business brokers, search-fund entrepreneurs, and relationships cultivated during Racioppo's thirty years in lower-middle-market investing. It does not participate in broad auction processes, and the firm's website notes that most sellers are founders seeking a permanent home for their businesses rather than the highest bidder.
Is Create My Wealth a family office or a traditional private equity fund?
Neither. The firm is a privately held holding company that uses permanent capital to buy and operate businesses indefinitely. Unlike a private equity fund, it has no outside investors and no requirement to sell assets on a fixed timeline. Unlike a family office managing inherited wealth, it is a first-generation enterprise built around Vincent Racioppo's own balance sheet and investment track record.
Does Create My Wealth raise money from outside limited partners?
No. The firm has never raised a blind-pool fund and does not accept capital from institutional investors, family offices, or high-net-worth individuals. The acquisition capital is the founder's own, plus the retained earnings the portfolio companies generate.
What kinds of businesses does Create My Wealth typically acquire?
The firm targets cash-flow-positive businesses with enterprise values below $50 million in consumer services, business services, healthcare, and light industrial sectors. Known holdings include a car-wash chain, an automotive collision-repair group, a bar-and-restaurant operator, and a medical-office building.
What is Create My Wealth's exit strategy?
The firm does not have one. Its stated philosophy is permanent ownership, and it has never sold a portfolio company. The structure is designed to absorb an acquired business's free cash flow and redeploy it into new acquisitions, so the holding period in practice is indefinite.
Where does Create My Wealth invest geographically?
The acquisition footprint is concentrated in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, with a secondary presence in California. The firm's real estate holdings and operating businesses are clustered around the New York metropolitan area, New Jersey, and the Sacramento region.
