Iron Bond is an entrepreneur-led partnership forged with the purpose of acquiring and growing a great business, while building upon its enduring legacy.

Iron Bond Search Partners is an investment fund founded by Dru Nkansah and Phil Dontje, two former U.S. Army Rangers turned entrepreneurs.

We are on a mission to acquire and lead a single great American business, building on its legacy and empowering its people. We are looking for one exceptional company to acquire and dedicate 100% of our time towards growing for the long term.

As mission-driven leaders, we seek to serve with humility and operational excellence.

We are interested in engaging with business founders/owners that are ready to sell their business and transfer ownership into the hands of people they can trust.

Who we are

The Iron Bond Approach

Our commitment is one of stewardship with a long-term vision.

We are neither traditional private equity nor venture capital. We are not in the business of flipping companies for a profit nor are we a “strategic buyer”.

We are fully funded and backed by a seasoned network of investors, advisors, and operators.
