Our Mission

Our mission: We assist audacious entrepreneurs determined to build companies which will be leaders in their core domestic or regional markets

Doing what it takes to foster winners

We are in the company-building business. Our value-creation strategy is not to extract a valuation arbirage from business founders but to leverage relationships to build teams,fine-tune strategy, attract partners and then–together–build market-leading businesses. We are active partners who do everything we can to support our companies.

Strategic advice, creative ideas

We opine on and sometimes help refine business plans. We love working together to turn something good into something great. Every business goes through pivotal moments – cave on a term or lose a customer, cancel the product line or keep it in market, make a key hiring decision.  We are there to help or find someone who can help you think through what to do.

A direct, straightforward style

We prefer brutal honesty to hypocritical politeness. We seldom vote against management teams in our board roles, but we can have strong opinions. We will challenge you without confronting you, but always having as a goal helping you build the business. We are definitely not about controlling ownership in your business or board room politics.
