Our Approach
We search for opportunities to acquire and invest in high-quality businesses that exist where others aren’t looking. From there, we take an active role in each business we work with - investing our time, energy, and capital to contribute to its continued success.
Fundamentals we look for in a business
CUSTOMER-CENTRIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE
We like businesses that solve meaningful problems for their customers. Our focus is on companies with proven product-market fit, demonstrated through strong retention and expanding relationships.
MISSION-DRIVEN TEAM
We believe people are a business' most valuable asset. We want to work with teams who have conviction in their company's mission and the technical expertise and entrepreneurial drive to accomplish it.
Competitive Differentiation
We value the things that make a company special. We look for businesses with established or emerging competitive advantages, supported by a differentiated offering with defensible market positioning.
PROFIT-ABLE
We seek out companies that are profitable or have a clear path to profitability, sustained by strong unit economics. Our team specializes in transitioning businesses from growth-at-all-costs to enduring profitability.
Transaction profiles we typically look at (* Opportunistic)
01
You’ve built a high-quality business, alongside a dedicated team, providing a product or service that creates lasting value for your customers. As you prepare for your next chapter, we work with you to design a succession plan that fits with your professional and personal priorities.
02
You oversee a non-core business unit that consumes your time, energy, and capital. We work with you to carve-out non-core subsidiaries into standalone businesses - freeing up your most valuable resources, which can be redeployed into your core business to create incremental value.
03
Your company has gained traction with profitable unit economics. Ambitious venture targets or valuations leave you with little equity value. We work with you to structure a transaction to recapitalize the business, providing liquidity to investors and fair recognition for the valuable business you’ve built.
