LineGear
Invested: 2025 | Website
Founded in 2005, LineGear is a top dealer and provider of lifesaving equipment to fire departments and search & rescue teams across the US.
Why we invested
- Led by an operator with a track record of entrepreneurship and success
- Safety equipment is a non-discretionary purchase where quality is paramount, making it resistant to price-driven competition. The industry is unlikely to shift to platforms like Amazon.
- California's growing wildfire trend is driving increased demand for this critical equipment
- Despite great success, still a lot of low hanging fruit. Leaving room for Jamestown Capital to add value through automating inventory management and expanding online sales
