These are the questions that drive our work:
It starts with the right partnership—entrepreneurs with the courage and commitment to transform their industries. Companies that align with our long-term fundamental demand drivers, with compelling market opportunities. These entrepreneurs and portfolio companies are our customers.
In a process that begins before a transaction closes, we begin working directly with the management teams of our portfolio companies. We ask our customers what they want to achieve, and determine the challenges standing in their way. We work with them to develop operational plans where we can add value. We identify deliverables and desired outcomes. And then we do the work alongside them.
In this way, we’re able to identify supply chain problems before they start. We’re able to help companies predict the lifetime value of their customers. We’re able to help great companies grow into world-changing companies.
More than 15 years ago, our founder sent a memo to our team outlining our firm’s core values: Excellence, humility, integrity, responsibility. Our team has more than doubled in size since then, but our values haven’t changed—and they never will.
