Investment Philosophy
Management
Our investment approach is centered around partnering with great management teams. We seek teams that have a track record of success, that are open to advice based on expertise, and that are eager at all times to bring in senior team members in order to build long-term value.
Strategy
We believe that company strategies can and should be simple and jargon-free. While tactics may change on a quarterly or even a monthly basis, a company´s long-term strategy should be precisely that: long-term. We work with our management teams to develop and refine a lasting long-term strategy.
Sales and Marketing
Our observation is that companies with superior products or services often under invest in sales and marketing. Long-term success requires a strong focus on sales and marketing, and we bring very strong experience in these two functions.
Operations
We bring much operational expertise in our organization. However, we do not get involved in day-to-day management - rather we seek to provide advice or bring in advisors from our network, and serve as counselors to our management teams.
Recruiting
One of our primary roles is to assist our companies in recruiting senior management team members, as well as in building out corporate boards. This includes finding candidates as well as convincing candidates to join one of our portfolio companies.
