Investment Philosophy
Focus is foundational
Focus unlocks insights and capability for transforming companies. We’re committed to going beyond headline thematics within specific areas of the Consumer and Business Services landscape.
Engaged operating talent
People make the difference. Our approach—aligning functional and sector-specific operating talent with unparalleled insight and market knowledge—enables hands-on, end-to-end engagement with our partners and drives exceptional outcomes.
Build value across multiple dimensions
Business can be a powerful force for good. We believe our disciplined approach consistently builds value in pure economic terms, but also at a human and social level—delivering transformative results for our investors, companies, people and communities.
Enduring partnerships
We never underestimate the human element of our business. We bring capital and resources to the equation, but also an unwavering commitment to partnership —we’re in it for the long haul.
Operating Partners
Operating Partners are fundamental to our investment process. They are proven founders and senior leaders who bring both functional and sector-specific expertise to our team, and are actively involved with theme development, deal sourcing/diligence and portfolio company engagement. This ensures consistent business performance and is essential for building long-term value.
