We do things differently.

​

We don’t have dozens of portfolio businesses with boards seats given to salaried mid-level managers in the firm, with little to no ‘skin in the game’.

​

We have a very limited number of businesses and founders that we work with at any one time, which allows us to do so in a true partnership fashion. Fewer partnerships means greater importance, focus and better outcomes.

​

This is especially the case when it comes to integration, which is where most M&A strategies flounder. Most investors are not set up to dedicate highly experienced integration specialists to work alongside their portfolio companies deeply and for long periods of time. We do and it makes the difference, ensuring that each acquisition is fully integrated: one business, one brand, one team.

​

Our team are all personally financially invested (in some cases providing all of the equity financing) in the companies we partner with so that we are fully aligned with the founder. We are free from corporate bureaucracy and we are fiercely protective of our team size and flat structure so founders have full access to everyone at anytime. No egos, no politics, just aligned interests. This is how we work and we are proud of it.

​

Where we manage external capital, the investors that back us are family offices that we consider friends. They are focused on protecting and growing wealth generationally, so their timelines are also flexible. This means together with our partners, we can make the right decisions, at the right time without being boxed into the rigid timelines of the fund model. Any incentives we receive from these family offices are totally time independent. Whether the founders wants to carry on for 30 days or 30 years, our incentives remain aligned.​

​

​We are the best at what we do and we are only doing that.
