Well-honed power is not about the ability to take but the ability to give. In his speech, Where Do We Go From Here, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said “Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political, and economic change.” This is how we use our power. Recently, Jennifer and I were asked by the JP Morgan Chase team to develop a series of training sessions to assist their clients in building a foundation to support the growth of their federal government contracting businesses. We jumped at the chance to use our power to support the growth of others. The series first session will be a dynamic in-person event held at JP Morgan Chase’s Washington DC Bowen Client Center location in Washington, DC. It will include a formal presentation, panel discussion as well as networking. We are excited to have this opportunity to share our thoughts on how to build a sustainable federal platform.   Unfortunately, space is limited, which requires registration (via the link below) to receive a slot. Please fill-out the 3-minute survey, and hopefully, we will see you there. https://lnkd.in/gymY623N #govcon #mlk #jpmorganchase #federalcontracting #edwosb #smallbusiness #sdb #innovation #hubzone #wosb #sdvosb

Our Managing Director, Glenn King, recently spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's impressive progress in 2024. Over the last year, Oakmount & Partners transitioned from raising expansion capital for third parties to building its diverse asset bank. With a current company valuation between £15 and £18 million, we aim to achieve a valuation of 4/5 times this amount over the next 5 years. Glenn discussed our recent acquisition of over £4 million in real estate, which reflects our robust portfolio expansion and is targeted at staycation and holiday letting retreats, traditional buy-to-lets, and commercial property. King highlighted our five-year plan to raise £50 million, primarily for investments in property, green technologies, and transformative industries. We are strategically acquiring distressed properties and considering additional exposure to green technology investments as part of our broader sustainability goals. Additionally, King mentioned the launch of Oakmount's product offerings on an FCA-regulated platform, targeting high-net-worth individuals, IFA's and wealth managers. Under FCA regulation, we are also pursuing expansion into the commercial finance side of the market to become a full-service institution. Our focus remains on maximising shareholder returns and preparing for a potential IPO or private acquisition to create significant returns for our investors, complementing our stable fixed-income offerings.
