Background
Clint Golman is a Vice President at Sequel Holdings, a Dallas-based private equity firm he joined in 2018 as an Associate. In his role he is responsible for identifying and evaluating new investment opportunities, conducting due diligence, and executing transactions, and he actively assists in the oversight of the firm's portfolio companies.
Before joining Sequel, Golman worked as an investment banking analyst with Deloitte Corporate Finance (formerly McColl Partners) in Dallas, where he focused on capital-raising and M&A advisory services for middle-market clients. That background in sell-side and financing work maps closely to Sequel's control-oriented, operationally driven investment style.
He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin (McCombs School of Business) in 2016, graduating with a double major in Business Honors and in Finance, plus a minor in Accounting.
Sequel Holdings itself was founded in 2002 and invests in profitable lower/middle-market companies across the food & beverage, agribusiness, and specialty materials sectors throughout the United States. The firm is built around a group of operating partners with deep sector experience, most of whom have worked together for over 20 years.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Note: The stub data labeling Golman as an "Angel Investor" making "Seed Round" checks is inaccurate. Golman is a private-equity investor at Sequel Holdings; the firm makes control equity investments in established, profitable operating companies — not startup seed/angel rounds.
- Sequel targets "profitable businesses in growing categories" paired with strong management teams committed to strategic growth.
- Primary sector is food & beverage, with select opportunities in agribusiness / ingredients & processing and plastics & specialty materials.
- Deal parameters: control ownership positions in businesses with EBITDA generally >$5MM and enterprise values roughly $50MM–$150MM.
- Value-creation playbook: partner with management to accelerate growth, drive operational improvements, pursue add-on acquisitions, and provide board-level strategic oversight through dedicated operating partners.
