Chris Hendriksen Pacific Lake Capital

Chris is a Partner at Pacific Lake Capital, one of the leading investors in the search fund industry and currently investing out of its $317 million sixth fund. The Stanford Graduate School of Business alum shares stories of his 20 plus years of experience and how the industry has evolved over time. His journey began as a searcher who found, invested in, and ran VRI, a remote patient monitoring company that grew revenue nearly 10x and grew equity value by more than 25x during his time as CEO before its sale to Pamlico Capital. An animated discussion follows about his transition from operator to investor and his current role at Pacific Lake. The conversation culminates in a lively exchange around the Hendriksen family’s cool summer habit – moving to a different city around the world for a month or two each year.
