Overview
Guild Garage Group is the fastest-growing garage door services platform in the United States. Founded in 2023 and launched in 2024 by Jordan Dubin, Joe Delaney, and Sean Slazyk — three former L Catterton private equity associates — Guild has completed nearly 30 acquisitions in under two years, building a $300M+ revenue platform with ~$50M EBITDA. On March 6, 2026, Oak Hill Capital agreed to acquire Guild for over $800 million — a ~16x EBITDA multiple.
Founding Story
Jordan Dubin, Joe Delaney, and Sean Slazyk met at L Catterton as associates in the same 2021 class. After leaving L Catterton, they identified garage door services as a fragmented, high-margin, recurring-revenue market ripe for a roll-up. Unlike traditional PE acquirers, they built Guild as an "owner-operator coalition": sellers take chips off the table at close but retain unit-level ownership, annual distributions, and participate in the platform exit.

Why Guild Garage Group Is a Craft Target
Guild sits at an interesting intersection for Craft. Garage door field technicians do sell in-home (replacement and upsell is meaningful), and Guild is actively trying to standardize performance across 30 acquired brands.
The Problem
With 900+ field techs across 30 brands, Guild has the same training consistency problem as every other roll-up. Kelsey Gassmann (VP Training & Development) owns this problem. Jake Wold (COO) feels it operationally.
Timing Signal
The Oak Hill acquisition (March 2026) creates a significant buying trigger. New PE ownership = new board pressure for efficiency metrics = tech evaluation cycle. Oak Hill will want close rate improvement across the platform within 12–18 months.
ServiceTitan Consideration
Guild is a full ServiceTitan shop. Per Craft ICP guidance: lead with AI Ridealong (field sales coaching) and Inside Sales AI. Do not lead with call center.
Key Buyers
- Kelsey Gassmann (VP Training & Development) — champion for in-home coaching
- Tim O'Reilly (CEO) — economic buyer post-Oak Hill close
- Jake Wold (COO) — operations decision-maker
- Jordan Dubin (Co-Founder) — still active post-acquisition
