[Without Argosy], I would have lost the innovative, award-winning company I started over 25 years ago. With Argosy’s involvement, we were able to significantly grow our revenue, profitability and cash flow.”
– GIL DENSHAM
CEO of CAST Group of Companies
I have had the privilege of actively working with Larry and Richard for the last ten years. I first met them in late 1999, a full 20 years ago, just prior to the management team of Prime Restaurants completing a 100% buyout. I was the CEO and a significant shareholder. At the time we were seeking potential financial partners. Financing was sourced elsewhere, but we stayed in contact as our businesses grew.”

Former Director of Celtrade Canada Inc.

The Shotgun Fund moved quickly and decisively and we had a successful relationship from 2000 to 2017. We worked closely with Richard and Larry on building out the management team, […] achieving a strong result for all shareholders.”

The opportunity to negotiate the buyout of Insception was one of the highlights of my career. It was matched by the ability to work with a quality team and Board with a shared focus on growing the company and building value.”
– RICHARD LOCKIE
Former CEO of Insception Lifebank
Richard was a valuable contributor on the Board for 18 years, and more importantly, a supportive partner for me and my family and our team. The Shotgun Fund’s support as a long-term oriented partner helped contribute to our growth and success.”
