PERMIAN PARTNERS

Permian Partners was founded in 2001 during the Internet bust by Peter Atkins, who helped to develop and manage some of Microsoft's early consumer Internet efforts and later was responsible for looking at Internet related investments on behalf of the company... We look at buying stock the same way we would evaluate buying an entire business. We aim to invest in companies we understand well, when we think they have defendable franchises, are managed by competent, entrepreneurial teams, and are available at reasonable prices. Our ideal holding period is long term.
