How we work with founders and owners.

We work alongside teams as operators, not spectators. Two ways in, depending on where you are.

For founders
Track one

Partner & grow

You're building the business and want an experienced team beside you to take it further. We bring operational leadership, systems and capital, hands-on rather than from a distance.

Right for you if

  • You want to grow but lack the team, systems or capital to do it alone
  • Profitable and looking to scale
  • A model that scales with better systems, with no fixed minimum EBITDA
  • You want a partner, not just an investor

For owners
Track two

Acquire & exit

You're ready to move on, in full or in part, and want a buyer who understands the business and its people. We acquire directly where it fits, or assemble a consortium to get the deal done.

Right for you if

  • You're seeking a full or partial exit, or planning succession
  • Profitable, with annual EBITDA above US$500,000
  • You want continuity, not an asset-strip
  • A clean, well-structured transaction

Case studies

Growth in practice.

Confidential mandate · Hospitality & events

Confidential Mandate

A successful, family-operated wedding business hosting around 200 weddings a year, seeking to expand to almost 1,000 annually through five additional premium venues.

Our role

We assessed the business financially, developed a full business plan and investor-grade financial model, and advised on performance improvements and supply-chain integration to capture additional income opportunities. We also provided ongoing strategic advice and mentoring.

Funding outcome

We secured a US$3.5 million equity funding offer, alongside options for future debt facilities. Our financial plan set out a self-funding expansion model targeting a US$24 million real estate portfolio following the initial equity investment.
