How we invest
Every company we touch falls into one of three relationships. The difference is how much of the work is ours.
Companies where our equity position is significant and we are very active with management, contributing our operational expertise day to day.
Companies where we hold a smaller position, or companies we founded and staffed with professional independent management. We remain active participants wherever we can make a difference.
