Jonathan Bates, founder of Patriot Growth Capital, shares how veteran-led business ownership can create income, upside, and impact for investors. After a 26-year Naval career and more than 16 years in business coaching, financing, private equity, and M&A, Jonathan is focused on acquiring undervalued American businesses and pairing them with disciplined military veteran operators.

The conversation explores the major opportunity created by retiring baby boomer business owners, the need for strong succession plans, and how private equity can be used to build resilient companies on Main Street. Jonathan also explains how Patriot Growth Capital helps accredited investors participate in real business ownership while supporting veteran families, strengthening local communities, and creating long-term value beyond profit alone.
