What We Look For

Partnership

We partner with passionate founders and operators seeking a collaborative partner to help scale their platforms, as they enter the next phase where systems, talent, and capital can meaningfully accelerate growth.

Experience-Driven Businesses

We focus on services where human interaction and experience matter—and where technology enhances rather than replaces the core offering. As AI increases productivity and frees time, demand for these services continues to grow.

Protected, Recurring Demand

We invest in businesses embedded in daily life and family routines, which benefit from predictable utilization, low substitution risk, and resilience across economic cycles.

Strong Unit Economics and Scalable Models

We target asset-lite businesses with attractive margins, durable cash flow, and repeatable unit-level economics. Scale is driven through disciplined expansion, pricing, throughput, and format optimization.

Hands-on Value Creation

We partner with businesses where our operating playbook can drive real change—from leadership and talent upgrades to technology, data, and AI enablement.

Fragmented Markets

We look for categories where fragmentation creates opportunities for disciplined M&A, operational leverage, and brand or network effects. Our experience enables us to build platforms that compound through thoughtful acquisition and integration.
