We select portfolio candidates that meet our investment criteria after a meticulous due diligence process.

We invest and act as principal when we have the opportunity to exert significant influence in connection with attractive investment opportunities.

We assist our portfolio companies in structuring, capital formation, corporate development and strategic management to accelerate the journey to achieve higher revenue, EBITDA and valuation.

Many of our portfolio companies started as small to mid-size venture stage U.S. companies and today are publicly traded at valuations over $1B.

Founded by three entrepreneurs, each with more than 30 years of financial, legal, operations and technology development expertise, we have substantial capabilities in company incubation and development, venture capital, buyout, turnaround and M&A.
