We are an entrepreneurial team with a differentiated approach
Investment Philosophy
We have a focused process, grounded in years of experience at top global investment firms.
We look for businesses fertile for value creation, with durable competitive advantages, and exposed to powerful secular growth themes.
We apply this approach to fragmented sectors where we act as consolidators, building scale to deliver lasting incremental value.
We bring analytical rigor and deep due diligence, rarely seen in the lower mid-market.
We pay fair, but reasonable, prices.
People first approach
We understand the foundation of a great company is capable, motivated people, bound together by a culture of excellence.
We appreciate the rarity of such an excellent culture. When we find one, we do our utmost to preserve it.
