Growth Capital For Great Teams
Great Teams:

At SSM, we believe that the success of our companies hinges on the effectiveness of their teams. These teams and their leaders, not us, are the stars — and we aim to be their greatest advocates. To that end, we have highlighted here some of the great teams to which we and our companies aspire to emulate.
Leaders Are Everything
We believe that the key to any group-oriented achievement is sound leadership. The success of our companies hinges on the effectiveness of their leaders. These leaders are the stars and we are their greatest advocates.
Jim Lackey
Jim guided Passport through many years of rapid growth, profitability and ultimately to a successful sale. His greatest strength is finding talent, giving them direction and getting out of their way. We feel honored to be his partner.
Rand Nickerson

His thoughtful leadership has positioned this innovative company as the leader in unsolicited feedback and a strategic resource for customers. Rand and Mark also developed the Company’s familiar [+] brand, which is viewed over 1 billion times per month.
Jim Tallman
