MRE Capital

Description

We are not a private equity firm. We are operators with capital. MRE Capital was formed in 2008 as the family office of David Williams focused on private company investing and development. David spent more than 30 years building Merkle as CEO, the global leader in tech-enabled marketing services. David acquired Merkle in 1988 with $2.8M in revenue, $800K in EBITDA, and 25 employees. He then grew Merkle to more than $1.2B in revenue, $300M in EBITDA, and 15,000+ employees globally through a combination of service expansion, geography expansion, and M&A. David sold Merkle to Dentsu, the largest publicly traded advertising company in Japan, in 2020, generating a 1,092x MOIC. Today, MRE is focused on investing in high quality mid-market people-based services businesses with a strong market position, a high-quality management team, and a desire to grow over a long period of time. We combine the long-term thinking and stability of a family office, the financial discipline of private equity, and the focus of building great companies from an operator’s perspective.
