What We Do

Operate - Support - Grow

Snow Birch Ventures was created to acquire and lead one strong small business in the Northeast. That search led to the acquisition of KC Mechanical in 2025.

Our focus is now on building on KC Mechanical’s foundation: supporting the team, strengthening operations, investing in growth, and continuing to provide dependable commercial kitchen equipment service across Vermont and the surrounding region.

As a business owner, your business is your legacy.  Snow Birch focuses on creating the opportunity to sell your business with full confidence that your legacy, team, suppliers and customers are in good hands.  We focus on preserving the foundation of a great business  while injecting capital, energy and commercial experience.

Community and team are critical elements of our investment criteria.  Given our history in the region we exclusively consider companies that reside in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Maine.

Sam Ruback is an experienced manager with extensive commercial experience within small private, medium public and large public companies.  He has led hundreds of product commercializations, marketing initiatives and sales successes across multiple industries.   Several selected investors and advisors with small to mid market PE experience also support the Snow Birch Ventures mission.

Snow Birch Ventures is looking for established companies with proven customers, healthy cashflow and returns via annual earnings ~ $0.5M to $2.5M.
