OFFSCRIPT MANAGEMENT

Alan B. Whitman serves as CEO and leads the investment committee. He co-founded the firm in 2011 after running Midwest client coverage for Morgan Stanley. The committee includes operating partners with direct experience running industrial and distribution businesses.

The firm relies on Whitman's 20-year network of corporate relationships across the Midwestern US, cultivated during his tenure at Morgan Stanley. It primarily targets off-market, founder-owned businesses rather than broadly auctioned processes, which allows it to avoid institutional competition on many transactions.

No. Offscript is an independent sponsor that raises equity on a deal-by-deal basis. It does not manage a blind-pool fund, which means each investment must stand on its own for capital formation. This structure removes deployment pressure and aligns co-investors directly with each transaction's outcome.

The firm focuses on control acquisitions of lower-middle-market companies generating between $1 million and $5 million in EBITDA. It writes platform-equity checks and then executes buy-and-build strategies within fragmented industrial and business-services sectors.

Offscript concentrates on domestic industrial manufacturing, packaging, and business services. It does not pursue technology startups, healthcare services, real estate, or any venture-stage opportunities. The firm's expertise is tethered to asset-heavy, cash-flow-positive businesses where operating partners can drive operational improvement.

The firm invests primarily in the US Midwest and Southwest. Its portfolio companies and acquisition targets are concentrated in manufacturing-heavy states, including Indiana, Ohio, and Texas. It does not pursue opportunities outside the United States.

Its deal-by-deal independent-sponsor structure makes it resemble a scaled search fund more than a traditional PE firm. Whitman personally co-invests in each deal alongside a curated group of repeat family-office and high-net-worth backers, aligning the firm's economics with transaction performance rather than management fees on committed capital.
