TBD Investors

Description

It’s always harder than you think. That’s why who you build with matters. We are not theorists or financiers from afar. We are operators first, proven in the field, not just on paper. We've been in the trenches, sleeves rolled, heart pounding, payroll due. We know the loneliness of search, the weight of the first 100 days, and what it feels like when the deal falls through and there's no one to call. We back searchers and operators with hunger, grit, and integrity. People building things that matter to real customers, patients, and communities. We invest our own money behind exceptional talent, and we invest ourselves: our time, our scars, our network, our presence. If you're determined to see it through, we're right there with you. – TBD is an investment partnership helmed by Dmitri Ivanov. After Wharton and years in consulting and acquisitions, Dmitri became a searcher, acquired Metro Vein Centers, and spent eight years turning it into the largest search-backed healthcare company in the country. He and his operating partner Andrew Provost built it primarily through de novo expansion, location by location, from scratch. Their outcome is widely recognized as the most successful search fund outcome in the past 20 years. They didn't inherit a playbook. They wrote a new one. Through TBD, Dmitri is doing what the best operators eventually do: multiply themselves - backing searchers and operators with determination and championing them while they build.
