Strategy

New investments begin with an industry thesis. We utilize a proprietary industry screening process to determine if an industry is attractive, and assemble a network of professionals with deep industry experience to develop a strategy for building a successful company. This process helps to ensure that we are highly knowledgeable and discerning of any industry that we pursue.
Once an industry initiative is approved, our Investment Team works to identify the best opportunity to build a platform within it. If no such company exists, we will embark on a Back, Buy and Build ("BBB") strategy wherein we assemble a team of proven executives to launch a new company. In cases where there is an existing business with strong leadership, we will partner with that company and pursue an aggressive growth plan together.
