The Value of Management

No matter the company, we believe management makes all the difference.

Our primary motivation in investing is to create value. For us, the key to creating value with our investments is a strong management team with industry-specific operating experience. However, we will consider working with start-ups, management buyouts, and various other entities in situations where we can see such management is already in place.
