Value-added Partnership Approach

We have a healthy level of respect for operating talent and appreciate what it takes to build a business and operate in the trenches. Our reps and roles in these areas are material. As a result, we love to partner with owner-operators and work to support and extend the excellent entrepreneurial talent present in closely held businesses. That support often takes the form of helping to expand teams, build new functions, access new markets, create appropriate governance, execute bolt-on acquisitions, navigate regulatory requirements, and ultimately serve as an experienced sounding board with shared alignment.

We are often the first institutional investors with whom owners partner. We understand the need to balance achievement of liquidity and preservation of upside potential. We further recognize the criticality of aligning incentives across teams and ecosystems and focus extensive efforts in this area.

True partnership with strong alignment allows for a trust-centric relationship that is more effective, efficient, and enjoyable for all stakeholders.
