Long-term Business Owners and Builders.

Summary

Sandalwood West was started as a project to invest and buy main street businesses by two college friends Andrew and Ankit.  After making two acquisitions the business has grown to include other partners with a variety of sector knowledge including Tech, CPG, and marketing. Please note other partners are not included in this summary as they are not a part of the overall strategy of SWW.  

SWW is a self-funded small family office.  We are open to considering investor funding if the values and proposition align, at this moment we have not accepted outside funding.
