Scott Abbott
Scott Abbott built Five Star Painting (founded in 2004) to become one of the world’s largest painting companies in franchising culminating in the successful sale of Five Star Painting (2015) to Dwyer Group, now Neighborly, the world’s largest home services brand. From the sale of Five Star Painting, Five Star Franchising (founded in 2005) and ProNexis (founded in 2012) were formed.
Leveraging this success and established relationships with some of America’s top home services brands, Scott has given ProNexis the foundation necessary for explosive growth servicing over 60 of the leading home service brands customer experience.
Scott’s tenacity and commitment to creating shareholder value has been evident through several business exits, and acquisitions in franchising.
In the Spring of 2021, Scott partnered with Princeton Equity Group making six acquisitions in home services. Today, Five Star Franchising has over 1,500 territories in six home service brands with a team of 200 employees focused on the mission of empowering franchise partners in the home services industry.
Presently Scott has interests as an investor in several venture capital funds, private equity funds and direct investments in several early stage ventures.
