Generational Equity, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the partial equity sale of its client, Spectrum Solutions, LLC, and Go-2 Fulfillment Company, Inc., to DW Healthcare Partners. The transaction closed May 17, 2019, and details were not disclosed.

Spectrum Solutions is a product development, custom designer, and manufacturer of containers and packaging solutions primarily for the scientific testing, medical, organic health, and cosmetic sectors. Fulfillment, kitting, and shipping services are available through Go-2 Fulfillment. Both are headquartered in Draper, Utah.

Gregg Williams, President and CEO, founded the business in 2005, and soon thereafter brought on a partner, Bill Phillips, COO. Post-transaction, both remain equity owners and active in the business for the foreseeable future, working hand-in-hand with DW Healthcare Partners to continue to invest in production processes, new patented medical-grade devices, and growth through penetrating new markets and further expanding in existing ones.

DW Healthcare Partners is a private equity firm focused exclusively on the healthcare industry. The firm manages over $800 million in committed capital and invests in profitable healthcare companies with proven management teams. DW Healthcare Partners is led by seasoned healthcare executives with more than 110 years of combined industry experience. The firm provides the capital, strategic guidance, and acquisition expertise to help mid-to-late-stage companies realize their potential for growth. DW Healthcare Partners is headquartered in Park City, Utah, with an office in Toronto, Ontario.

Speaking on the transaction, Gregg Williams said, “This was a process that embodied every adjective from exciting to grueling. It is without a doubt a very tough process, but in the end worth every challenge. The Generational Equity team of Michael Goss and Don Ho were both extraordinary in guiding us through it, handling all aspects from A-Z while assembling a team of top professionals that addressed and handled each challenge. I feel they found the perfect partner for us in DWHP. We are very excited about our new partnership. This is the right union to take Spectrum to the next level.”

Bill Phillips added, “Going through the sale of our business was something far more detailed and difficult than I could have ever imagined. I know that without the unbelievable attention to detail and the depth of knowledge both Don and Michael have in this process it would have been impossible. With Don’s and Michael’s help, a team was assembled that helped us get exactly what we wanted in a partnership with DWHP. I feel without their help, this process would have been far more grueling and emotionally taxing than what it was. They greatly exceeded my expectations, and I am forever grateful that they were on our team and helped us unite with DWHP.”

Generational Equity Executive Managing Director of M&A - Central, Michael Goss and his team, led by Senior Vice President Mergers & Acquisitions Don Ho, successfully closed the deal.

“This transaction is the brilliant outcome of what emerges when you mix Gregg, a gifted serial entrepreneur, and Bill, a genius of production/fulfillment and supply chain processes, with a group of exceptionally talented and deeply connected healthcare experts in DW Healthcare Partners,” said Goss. “The complexity of this deal was legitimate, but thanks to the ultimate flexibility and aligned vision of both sides – Gregg and Bill and DW Healthcare Partners – we were able to see it through successfully to the closing table to everyone’s excitement and economic benefit.”

Don Ho added, “We cannot be more excited for our clients and this milestone achievement for their business and personal lives. Partnering with DWHP will allow the business to improve their R&D, manufacturing, and automation, as well as operational and financial reporting infrastructure. Further, the additional capital and human resource from DWHP will augment Spectrum Solutions’ and Go-2 Fulfillment’s ability to better serve its customers.”

“The Generational Equity team, as well as Michael and I, are very grateful and fortunate to have been able to help our clients identify internal and external risks, and grow and improve their two businesses over the last few years, in order to achieve Gregg and Bill’s goals,” added Mr. Ho.

We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ahmad Behjati Managing Director, M&A, for Generational Equity during our acquisition of Papa's Dodge in late 2021. Generational Equity and Mr. Behjati represented and marketed Papa’s Dodge. As our primary contact, Mr. Behjati was professional in every facet of this acquisition process, conveying valuable advice most times and assisting us in every step of the process.
Rick Greene of Dobbs Equity Partners LLC
The most important contribution I think Ahmad made was with his personality and work ethic. He is sincere, efficient, and very hard working. He was available to me at all times, whether it was for specific detail of the negotiation or just to talk through the bigger picture. He listened, advised, and recommended, but never forced his idea or opinions. In the time we worked together, he became a valued colleague and also a friend.
Salvo Stoch, Founder and CEO of Sleeping Partners
The professionals at Generational Equity then helped develop a roadmap for enhancing the value of the firm and an evaluation report. This was completed by June 14, 2021. We then developed the Confidential Information Memorandum and put Taylor Studios, Inc. on the market by July.
Generational Equity’s professional staff helped me every step of the way. Their network and professionals are the only reason I sold my company this quickly. For me this is a once in a lifetime sale and I was unfamiliar with the process. I was able to lean on them with questions and concerns.
Betty L. Brennan, President, Taylor Studios
I would like to thank you and your firm, Generational Equity, for being our valued advisors in our journey.
Bil MacLeslie, CEO, ipHouse

Terry D. Wickman, President, Keytroller
Thanks to you, the entire GE team and especially Michael Goss for driving a great valuation, coaching me and driving the process across the finish line. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support GE going forward. P.S. Given my experience with GE I felt comfortable enough to sign up with Generation Wealth Advisors!
Tom Currier, Former President & CEO, Rackmount Solutions
The process was much more involved than I expected and your help, experience and advice was a big factor in making the negotiations go as smoothly as possible.
Terry D. Wickman, President, Keytroller
I need to say an immense thank you to Don Ho for his stellar work ethic, attention to detail, and tireless effort. Also thank you to the whole crew at GE! Without you, Don could not do such a phenomenal job. We were shooting for closing and funding before the end of 2020, due to the uncertainty of the political landscape and taxes. I am happy to report we closed last week and will be funding tomorrow.
Dr. Caty J. Catron PhD, RN, VA-BC – Owner, Vic The Picc, LLC
Michael worked tirelessly, He followed every lead meticulously and urgently to make sure nothing was missed.

Greetings Mike. Thank you for the captivating and compelling presentation you made at the Phoenix presentation last week. Over many years in business yours was the most informative and well-presented presentation, on any subject, that I have ever attended! Your energy and enthusiasm combined with your concise and captivating support of your positions with easily understood examples and data was compelling.
Pete L.
We knew it would be a difficult task to have someone really understand our business and our market, prior to researching a possible buyer, so it was imperative that we found someone of your caliber, with definite proven experience in this area.
Rick Nowak, President/CEO, Kurz Electric Solutions, Inc.
We are very happy with the end result, and are very happy to be able to move forward with all of our future growth plans.
Rick Nowak, President/CEO, Kurz Electric Solutions, Inc.
We were happy to see the interest in our company and what we cherished has not just a valuable company but an important company to the communities we served in.
Larry Moore, Owner, A Company Portable Restrooms
Thank you again for all your guidance and support. Any company will achieve what they intend, if they have you on their team!
Rick Nowak, President/CEO, Kurz Electric Solutions, Inc.
Generational Equity’s assistance was invaluable in compiling and marketing our business.
Bil MacLeslie, CEO, ipHouse
The help you provided us during each step of this process made us feel very comfortable and confident we were selecting the right approach to transition our Company.
Andy Graham, Vice President, Modern Heating & Plumbing
After attending a conference with GE, I decided that the value they bring would be worth the expense and as soon as I started working with them, I realized that was the right decision. When we started to get LOIs, Fred Zweifel took the lead on the communication and supported negotiations throughout the process, which got tricky as we moved forward. I learned that it can be common for companies to make a great offer then work to erode that price with their discoveries, but Fred and the GE team kept that from happening.
Caroline Connelly, CEO, OptoTest
We thank you Eric and Generational Equity making our dream come true.
Larry Moore, Owner, A Company Portable Restrooms
T.D., thank you so much! You are a great leader! I love how you are using your gifts and talents to better others. You are clearly a GREAT COACH! This 3 day session undoubtedly changed the future of our business, and very well may have been the sole catalyst to save my company, my health and my marriage! A genuine “thank you” from the bottom of my heart.
Bryan D. Horn, Owner, Over Under Clothing
We were represented by Michael Goss with Generational. The due diligence was grueling and exhausting, but Michael propped us up and kept us motivated throughout the process. Debi and I continued to ask each other how we could possibly make it through this process without the assistance of Michael. Michael's professionalism and knowledge is absolutely amazing, and we are so blessed to have had him by our side as we made our future dreams come true.
Bob and Debi Lee, Owners of BL Technology, Inc and BL Tl Services, LLC
Generational Equity educated and informed us – so that we could be on the upside of a good decision (to sell).
Bil MacLeslie, CEO, ipHouse
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for us. Not only did you take care of all the aspects of the sale but took extra care to make sure we knew what it looked like every step of the way. I will definitely recommend your company to anyone that is in a position to or looking to exit their business.
Shane and Johanna Kline, Owners of Vision Upfitters
I quickly recognized that Don was working for Sharpe Mixers above all else, and held our interests above others.
Jay Dinnison, Owner of Sharpe Mixers
Through the sale process, Generational brought in several interested buyers and we closed in about 6 months. I am so glad I accepted that invitation to the conference and could not be happier with the whole process. The team at Generational coupled with their knowledge and guidance was so valuable that in the end, I know I could never have done this on my own!
JoAnn Ellis, Owner of Fondren 5 Star Kennels
I couldn’t have asked for a better team than Michael and Deborah. We couldn’t have done it without them.
Robert Evans, President and CEO of Mealtracker Dietary Software
I am pleased that I was able to work with Andrew Byrd throughout this experience. From the first meeting we had in Minneapolis I felt that I was in good hands. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. He guided the process consistently throughout. I feel lucky that I was pared with Andrew and could not be happier that I chose Generational Equity to handle this major life event. Thank you Andrew and GenEq for everything!
Eric Erlandson, Owner, Action Fastenings, Inc.
I must say that I have never worked with a more driven, competent and focused individual as Don Ho.
Jay Dinnison, Owner of Sharpe Mixers
I decided to attend the conference and hopefully receive some guidance on how to structure an exit plan of my business. Upon arriving at the conference, I was so impressed with the presentation given by Generational Equity that I set a future appointment that week to discuss the possibility of selling my business with their Senior Managing Director David Robinson.
JoAnn Ellis, Owner of Fondren 5 Star Kennels
Your wisdom and experience were invaluable to me during this once-in-a-lifetime transaction.
