We Partner Differently

Founder-first philosophy

We partner with high-conviction founders who’ve built market edge. You keep majority control, we bring flexible capital, operating leverage, and respect for what you’ve created.

Flexible by design

Every structure is bespoke. We right size capital for where you are and where you’re going. No templates, no assumptions, just alignment with your unique vision.

Speed & reliability

We move quickly and deliver on our commitments. Known for certainty and speed in fundamental growth, asset aggregation, and special situations.

Scalable partnership

 Meaningful initial investments of $10-$50MM, scalable to $100MM+. Capital that scales with your business and your ambition.

Expertise & network

Beyond funding, you get exclusive access to our Operating Network & Ecosystem (ONE) and in-house asset management team. Because real partnerships go deeper than a check.
