Capital
The firm invests directly. There is no committee to satisfy, no fund mandate to respect and no outside investor to convince. When the answer is yes, the decision is already final.
How we invest
What we commit, and what we expect in return.
Capital, operating capability and access are committed together. A proposal moves from first meeting to signed terms in weeks, and you will know where it stands at every stage.
What we commit
Three commitments, made at the same time.
Most companies are offered these one at a time. Money without help, or help without exposure. Separating them is precisely what makes both of them fail.
I
II
Operating platform
The investment does not end at the transfer. The firm builds the commercial engine alongside management: positioning, brand, digital infrastructure, demand generation and route to market.
III
Access
Decades of relationships with operators, buyers, co-investors and advisors across two continents, opened deliberately when they move a company forward.
Process
From first meeting to signed terms, in weeks.
You will know where the proposal stands at every stage, including the stage at which the answer is no.
01
First meeting
Thirty minutes. What the company is building, and what is standing in the way of it.
02
Assessment
Two weeks. Commercial reality: demand, unit economics, competition and what winning would actually require.
03
Terms
One document. What the firm commits, in capital and in work, and what it takes in equity.
04
Build
The firm works inside the company, not from a quarterly call asking how it went.
Criteria
What the firm is looking for.
- Founder or management led, with that leadership still in place
- Revenue today, or a credible route to it inside twelve months
- A market the firm can genuinely help reach, rather than one it would be learning at your expense
- Operating in, or selling into, international markets
- A management team that wants partners in the business, not only a cheque
Proposals that miss one of these are still read. The firm has been wrong before.
