About A2

We are entrepreneurs,
not just investors

A2 Investment Partners is a private holding company focused on identifying and building scalable platforms in underserved corners of the services and specialty insurance markets. A2 was founded by Adam Behringer and Ari Gerstein — two entrepreneurs with complementary backgrounds in investing and finance. Our model is simple: find industries the market forgot to disrupt, and build what should have existed all along using technology, capital, and operator expertise.

Our Thesis
"The most interesting opportunities are not the ones everyone is already pursuing. They are the markets where the right business simply does not exist yet."

Most markets that institutional capital targets are already well-served. The ones that interest A2 have the opposite problem: they are large, essential, and fragmented — and they have been structurally overlooked because capturing them requires more than capital. It requires industry relationships, domain credibility, and willingness to build from scratch.

A2 was founded by operators who have invested directly in these industries and who understand them from the inside. We enter markets before they are crowded, build the businesses that should exist there, and structure our economics so that our partners' success and our own are the same outcome.

Investment Focus

Where we build — and why it matters

A2 Investment Partners targets large, underserved markets in the services sector where information asymmetry, fragmented incumbents, and a structural absence of institutional capital create durable, first-mover opportunity.

01
Specialty Insurance & Risk Products

We identify insurance products that the market has not yet built and launch them as specialty platforms. These are categories where misaligned incentives and a lack of admitted carrier participation have left large premium pools uncaptured — and where a disciplined underwriting thesis creates durable advantage.

02
Service-Based Industries

The home and B2B services economy is being rapidly institutionalized. Our founding team brings direct investing and operating experience across roofing, HVAC, chimney services, fiber internet, home technology integration, and more — providing proprietary access and the ability to move alongside the operators reshaping these industries.

03
Additional Verticals

A2 continues to evaluate additional verticals where first-mover positioning and operator expertise create lasting advantage. Details forthcoming.

Our Values

The principles we build by

01
Alignment

We only win when our partners win. Our model is built on shared economics, where both parties can succeed. We never design a product where we profit at your expense.

02
Integrity

We do what is right, not what is easiest — even when no one is looking. Our word is our contract, and our actions reflect that.

03
Humility

We approach every partnership with a learning mindset — listening first, staying grounded in data, and continuously improving how we serve our partners and manage risk.

04
Trust

Trust is earned through performance, alignment, and transparency. We build it by delivering on our commitments, sharing in outcomes, and operating as true long-term partners.

05
Commitment to Excellence

Excellence is a behavior, not an outcome. We strive to be exceptional in everything we do — never settling for the status quo and continuously improving.
