With trust at the center of our foundation, we help family and founder-owned businesses safeguard their heritage and shape their future.

Founded by Dan Jacobs, The DeHart Co. is focused on growing companies through leadership and stewardship.  With nearly two decades of experience leading large manufacturing and distribution businesses across the Americas, Dan has built a career on solving tough problems, growing revenue, and creating opportunities for people. What drives him, however, is something deeper: the joy of building — building teams, building companies, and building trust.

He launched The DeHart Company to bring his passion & leadership into ownership, where his stewardship creates lasting value. Known for rolling up his sleeves and getting involved, he approaches every partnership with the mindset of an operator — strengthening companies, preserving what makes them unique, and positioning them to thrive for decades to come.
