The Founders

Operators First. Investors Second.

Crome Group was founded by people who have spent decades inside real businesses, not on the sidelines advising. We buy what we know how to run.

Founding Partners
Tim Travis
Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Tim Travis

Tim Travis has spent over 25 years acquiring, operating, and scaling businesses across multiple industries. His background is not in finance but in operations. He has sat in the CEO seat of companies he personally acquired, built the systems, hired the teams, and managed the exits.

As President & CEO of South Bend Medical Foundation (SBMF) and ChartPro, Tim has overseen the growth of a multi-company operating platform spanning healthcare services and technology. That same platform now extends into garment care through Ziker Cleaners and its Classic Cleaners add-on. This operating depth is what Crome Group brings to every acquisition: not just capital, but the experience to make businesses run measurably better.

Tim leads deal sourcing, underwriting, and post-acquisition integration at Crome Group. His acquisition discipline is simple: never overpay, always buy proven cash flow, and build value systematically before exit.

Tim Stolt
Co-Founder & Operating Partner

Tim Stolt

Tim Stolt brings decades of experience building and scaling businesses from the inside. His operating background spans financial management, business development, and multi-unit operations, the same capabilities Crome Group deploys in every portfolio company.

As COO of SBMF and ChartPro, Tim has worked alongside Tim Travis building the systems and structures that allow a holding company to run efficiently across multiple operating entities. That institutional knowledge now powers Crome Group.

Tim oversees financial operations, investor relations, and operational management across Crome Group's portfolio. His focus is on making sure every business we own performs against its plan, and that our investors are kept informed and confident throughout the hold period.

Operators, Not Advisors

We have worked inside the businesses we acquired. We know what day-to-day operations look like, which is why we can identify what is wrong and fix it.

Disciplined Underwriting

We have walked away from more deals than we have done. Every acquisition we close has met a strict set of criteria: cash flow, operating history, and acquisition price.

Aligned with Investors

Tim Travis and Tim Stolt invest their own capital in every deal alongside LP investors. We do not get paid until you get paid.

This acquisition reflects my conviction in the fragmented services market and our belief that disciplined operators, not just capital, create lasting value for investors and employees alike.
