summary - Apis & Heritage is a unique US private equity firm that has established an investment fund called "The Legacy Fund" which is used to facilitate Employee-Led BuyOut (ELBO). Studies show the enormous potential for reducing inequality and it is an issue that receives rare bipartisan political support in the US. The "Silver Tsunami" describes 3 million small business owners likely to retire in 2035. Together, their businesses account for $10 trillion in assets. Apis & Heritage helps faciliate a smooth transition for owners to sell to their employees, increasing their net worth by as much as 10x by the time they retire.
