“Selling our company was momentous on many levels. Sage Capital stayed with us through a long process.
Naturally we didnt always agree but they were good for their word at every step. I respected them enough to remain as an investor, and later I chose to join as a Roundtable member in Sage Capital’s other investments, too.”
- Bob Balk, co-founder of Store Supply Warehouse
