Growable Ventures acquired Obex Pest Defense, a Denver, Colo.-based pest control company founded in 2020 by Sean Licalzi. This move allows Growable Ventures to expand its footprint in the pest control industry and increase its portfolio of successful pest control companies.
Obex Pest Defense has built a customer base spanning from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. The acquisition demonstrates Growable Ventures’ strategic approach to growing and enhancing pest control businesses, leveraging years of expertise from the founder and CEO of Growable Ventures, Solomon Airhart, and business partner Jordon Agee, who previously co-founded the award-winning Aruza Pest Control in 2016.
“We are really excited to take over Obex Pest Defense,” said Airhart. “When we started Aruza, we had a clear vision for what that company would achieve, and we were able to deliver on it quicker than expected. There was so much we couldn’t do with Aruza that Jordan and I are very excited to do with Obex.”
Sean Licalzi, founder of Obex Pest Defense, expressed his confidence in Growable Ventures as the successor for his company.
“Selling Obex was a big deal for me. It felt like handing over my baby that I built from the ground up,“ said Licalzi. “After chatting with several companies, I landed on Growable Ventures, and honestly, it all came down to my connection with Solomon. We’ve crossed paths in the pest control world for quite a while, and I’ve always respected how he operates his business and the success he’s had with his other acquisitions.“
