Huckleberry Holdings

“I'm your huckleberry.”

Doc Holliday · Tombstone, 1993

Holding Company · Founder-Led Businesses

What We Do

We buy in, and we stay.

Huckleberry Holdings acquires and operates founder-led businesses for the long run — not to flip them, not on anyone else's clock.

Our own capital

We invest and operate with our own money, alongside seller financing where it fits. No outside fund, no fixed exit timeline forcing our hand.

We work in it

We don't buy a business and walk away. We work alongside the people who built it, in the operations, learning what actually makes it run.

Built to outlast us

Our measure of success isn't just growth — it's a business with real systems, so it no longer depends on any one person to keep running well.

Our first company

Passarelli Builders & Design
Est. 1995 · Chicagoland, IL · Acquired 2025

A residential remodeling and design-build firm serving the western Chicago suburbs, now under new ownership and building toward its next chapter — new systems, new leadership development, same craftsmanship the name has stood for since 1995.

The first, not the only.

Leadership

Three people, one thing agreed on

Equal partners, distinct roles — no one at Huckleberry outranks the other two.
