    Transformation

    We do more than provide capital. We work with business leaders to enhance enterprise value through additional capital, complementary acquisitions, operating improvements and team additions.

    Focus

    Our investments are made with personal capital. We are focused on helping our current investments succeed, rather than raising our next fund. We are not pressured by typical private equity investment horizons and invest with a view toward long term success.
