Bahama Bay was founded by principals of Holding Capital Group, Main Street Resources, Allen & Company and many other notable entrepreneurs
and CEOs (see founder list that follows). This group shares a common
vision and has committed the equity required to date to allow the
development to proceed fully funded with over 95% equity.
Holding Capital
Group, LLC was begun in 1975 by S. A. Spencer, formerly a partner
at McKinsey & Company and CEO of Briggs Manufacturing Co., and
was joined in 1978 by James W. Donaghy, formerly with Arthur Andersen
& Co. and in private industry. HCG has arranged and acted as
principal in over 200 acquisitions and other investments aggregating
about $3 billion in value - with transaction sizes from six figures
to $150 million. Today the Group has some sixty members with backgrounds
in operating businesses and professions.
Main Street is a non-controlling equity firm and generally
commits $2-10 million equity capital in transactions that include growth
fundings, equity financings, and management buyouts. The marked success and
continuous growth of Main Street 's portfolio companies provides a testament
to the value of their unique investment approach and business philosophy.
