Many of our private investments are built or scaled alongside operators we trust. This is how we source, underwrite, and add value in private markets - and how the operators in our network gain access to capital, deal flow, and partners who think like owners.
We partner with operators in two ways. Sometimes we co-invest with an operator who is already running or building a specific business. Sometimes, we and an operator partner together to acquire or launch a business in a space we both understand. Either way, the operator has skin in the game, real autonomy, and is treated as a principal - not a hire.
This is not employment. It's a partnership. Our operators are principals - they have meaningful equity in the businesses they run and the autonomy to operate as they see fit. We are involved at the board level, available for strategic discussions, and actively helpful on financial and growth questions. But we don't micromanage.
The businesses we pursue together are typically in sectors where we have existing expertise. But we are open to exceptional operators in any sector where the economics are compelling.
Our commitment is long-term. We are not looking for 3-year flips - we want to build businesses that last.
The best operators we work with share a few qualities. They have a track record of building or running a business - it doesn't have to be in the exact industry they're targeting. They think like owners, not managers. They're willing to put skin in the game and commit for the long haul.
They have real domain expertise or the proven ability to develop it rapidly. They're comfortable making decisions with imperfect information. They execute with urgency but think with patience.
We don't require a specific pedigree or background. We care about judgment, integrity, and the ability to build something from the ground up.
Growth equity to acquire, launch, or scale a business. We structure deals that align incentives for the long term.
Access to proprietary opportunities through our M&A network and industry relationships built over years of advisory work.
Practical operating support, scalable systems, and execution discipline. As operators ourselves, we speak the same language and help management teams build better businesses.
We don't flip businesses. We partner for years, through growth phases, market cycles, and the inevitable challenges of building something real.
We don't have a formal application process. Start with an email or a phone call. Tell us about your background, what you're interested in, and what kind of opportunity you're looking for. We'll take it from there.
