1931
Streber’s Market
Our founder’s great-grandfather left a steady job at Kroger to open a grocery store in New Vienna, Ohio — a store that would anchor the town for nearly a century.
OMEGA PRESERVATION EQUITY
Businesses worth preserving.
We acquire and hold established American companies, farms, and ranches — preserving the people, the trade, and the legacies worthy of continuing.
For owners & familiesFor investorsWho we are
A preservation investment firm.
We buy established American family businesses, farms and ranches from owners who want what they built to carry on, and we run them to stay open, stay local and keep their people.
Our basis isn’t the next unicorn investment. We strive to create excellent, stable returns for our investors, to maintain and build jobs, to revive and preserve skills that are being lost, and to value the resources that have always been America’s pride and backbone.
We know the sacrifice, the long hours, the years of hard work, and the resolute grit it takes to build a legacy. We are working to preserve and revive what is being lost. This isn’t a slogan to us. We believe it is critical — and that if no one tries, the loss will be devastating for all of us.
We are feeling the crisis. A succession crisis is reaching across America’s ranches, farms, and family businesses — and every one that closes takes something with it we can’t get back.
Traditions and history
From 1931 to today.
Three generations
Behind the counter
The family kept it open across three generations. Jodi grew up working in that store, and learned early that a business is the people who depend on it and the town around it.
Today
Omega Preservation Equity
A CPA and MBA who watched finance take good businesses apart, Jodi founded Omega to use the same tools to keep them whole — and to hold them for the long term.
Read Jodi’s story →The idea
Preservation equity.
Ownership for people who care about what they own.
We use the tools of institutional finance — the same leverage, the same structures that have hollowed out many American businesses and farms — to do the opposite: to preserve the ones that should outlast all of us. Not because the tools are good or evil, but because we decided there had to be a better way — to serve businesses, instead of feeding on them. Our mission is to build the American business and farm — to change the world for the next generation.
Preservation equity starts from a different conviction: that some of the most valuable businesses in the country are the ones that provide steady, unglamorous, and absolutely necessary services. When we invest under a preservation equity mandate, three principles guide the work.
Succession, not liquidation
A trusted partner for founders who want their life’s work protected, modernized, and respected — not dismantled.
Durable compounding
Without the friction of constant buying and selling, more of what a business earns can stay in the business and keep working.
Resilience at home
Local supply chains, processing plants, and working land, kept in working hands — the businesses communities rely on in every economy.
Investing you can see
Preservation equity is for people who want more than a line on a statement — who want to taste the beef from the ranch, smell the bread in the bakery, walk the floor of the shop, and see with their own eyes where their money goes and what it supports. It is a place for purposeful investment: capital that keeps the farm down the road, the crew that repairs the bridge, and the shop that knows your name — the things that make America a place we want to live.
Preserving what might otherwise be lost.
Read our visionNot the next app. The backbone.
We aren’t chasing artificial intelligence or the next technology platform. We invest in the backbone of the country — our food, our resources, our infrastructure, and our people.
We know the grit, the sacrifice, and the hard work it takes to build these businesses, because we come from them. The farm that feeds a county, the contractor who keeps its roads open, the shop on Main Street that has known three generations of the same customers — these are not relics. They are how much of America still works.
We build on established legacies.
The four strategies
One discipline, four strategies.
The businesses that quietly power everyday life. Each strategy is built around an anchor — an established business at its center — and grows outward from it with the same discipline and the same patience.
Working ranches and dairies, the processors they sell to, the veterinarians who care for the herd, and the supply chain between them, owned together so the land can pay its own way.

From one anchor to a lasting platform.
Pursue the platform anchors
Each strategy is built around an anchor — an established, profitable business at its center. Securing these anchors is the work we are focused on now.
Build around the anchor
Then we add what makes the anchor stronger: owned and allied supply, complementary businesses, shared services, and the people to run them.
Own with patience
We hold for the long term, keep leadership continuity, and invest in the crews, equipment, and training that let a business take on more work, not less.
Return capital, keep the business
We underwrite every deal with a clear exit path in mind. Our investors have a defined path to liquidity — through distributions, recapitalization, refinance, or new capital — with no mandate of a sale. Returns are paid to investors first.
Give forward
What the firm earns, after our investors are paid, helps fund Christ-centered, transformational education for families across the country.

For owners & families
A business is a lifetime of work. Whether you want a partner to build alongside or a way to step back, we keep the people, culture, and name intact — and you involved for as long as it makes sense.

Our purpose
Omega exists for a purpose beyond returns. We preserve what endures in a business — its people, its trade, its name. What the firm earns, after our investors are paid, helps fund Christ-centered, transformational education for families across the country.
