Atlanta-based · Individual buyer

I want to buy one Atlanta business and run it for the long haul.

If you've built a company and are thinking about what comes next, I'd like to be the person who carries it forward. I'm not a fund, and I'm not looking to flip it.

I'll operate the business myself, keep your team in place, and live in the community it serves.

About me

Portrait of Nic McCalop

My name is Nicolas Tyler McCalop, and I go by Nic. I'm an Atlanta native who has had the privilege of watching the city blossom into the amazing place we all love today.

I studied locally. I attended undergrad at Morehouse College and earned my MBA at Emory University. For the past 10 years, I've worked in consulting, primarily in finance operations (Big 4 consulting and middle-market PE consulting), supporting private equity clients and large-scale enterprise clients.

I don't consider myself a PE guy or a finance bro. What corporate taught me is how well-run businesses actually work, and I want to put that to use running yours.

After over a decade of helping other people's companies run better from the outside, I want to commit to one business for the next few decades, earn the trust of my employees, customers and suppliers, and develop a legacy that I can pass on to future generations.
