Significant FederationOur mission is to provide ethical business and financial strategies as principal investors in online education companies.
243 North Highway 101, Suite 11 Solana Beach, CA 92075 Phone: (760) 801-5021 Dr. Michael K. Clifford is an education entrepreneur. He views himself as an ethical business and finance strategist that is a catalyst for creating high growth education companies specifically online. As a result of Michael K. Clifford's track record as the catalyst for six successful education companies with separate investor groups, separate management teams, and distinctly different niches, a small established partnership of very wealthy school owners has approached him to look for acquisitions in the market place. Thus, SignificantPartners LLC was created with Clifford a group of silent partners with the capacity to deploy $100MM a year for the acquisition of education properties. This particular group is extremely private so nothing can be said about the successful transactions taking place. One of Significant Federations' core competencies is our relationship-building with leaders in their particular industry space. Leadership - some might call it senior management - is absolutely the first step to success in business. Leadership is key to our investment decision criteria. Because of the significant deal flow through our partnership, we have been remarkably successful recruiting and placing key leaders in the industries where we're passionate about investing. We were recently cited as possibly one of the largest recruiting/placement groups in the post-secondary education industry - even though this isn't our core business (nor have we ever charged a company or an executive for placement services). In the past five years we've recruited more than 200 experts in post-secondary education on behalf of various organizations. Our philosophy is one of giving to those we come in contact with without immediately trying to make money in the process. As a result of our willingness to engage in relationship-building, we may not make a short-term fee as a staffing business - but we do enjoy remarkable flow of intellectual property from our virtual Rolodex of relationships. We back successful leaders. We get excited when a successful leader comes to us wanting to buy a business they're passionate about building. We have global affiliations across numerous industries. This puts a lot of quality people in our sphere of influence. Some have called our position unprecedented.
You'll never see it. We never reveal those who talk with us, let alone those who do business with us. Our work is completely confidential. But we'd like you to meet some of our Advisors, to give you a sense of the depth of our experience in various industries. These are Advisors who review potential investments, or enhance pertinent relationships. We've found them to be not just invaluable partners but also warm friends. |
