About M2o Incorporated
M²O Incorporated is a Los Angeles family investment firm founded in 1992 by the Leonetti and O'Connell families, with Michael F. O'Connell serving as chairman. Earlier in his career, O'Connell was president and managing director of the Los Angeles investment management firm Anhalt, O'Connell & Steffanci; in 1992 he acquired and personally led the turnaround of the National Lines Bureau, a ship-mooring operation serving the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors, before its sale in 1997. The firm describes itself as a permanent-capital family office rather than a private-equity fund, partnering with search-fund entrepreneurs and independent sponsors to acquire and grow asset-light private companies over long horizons. A third-party estimate places its assets under management at $100M. M²O reports having invested in hundreds of search funds globally; Michael-Kevin O'Connell serves as managing partner and president.
