Over the years, we have invested significant capital in over 50 companies
Within the realm of private companies, we align ourselves with exceptional management teams and high-growth entrepreneurs to develop enterprises that can generate meaningful value. We have the flexibility to invest directly and through partnerships.
The financing stage of development ranges from seed to growth funding. We are equally comfortable being either the sole investor or a minority shareholder with reputable investors. The sectorial preference includes financial services, technology, and food.
Through targeting unique opportunities, the firm provides capital, knowledge, and resources to support portfolio companies in reaching their potential. We can participate across the capital structure and are biased to long duration ownership.
Our approach
We build businesses, and are not only financiers. We understand the difference between asking for results and being patient in building a business.
We believe in sharing our experiences and opportunities with like-minded families and individuals and strive to forge partnerships that are rewarding for all stakeholders.
