Co-Founder/Partner

2017

On a mission to change the existing model for start-up capital. Traditional investors tend to focus on short-term growth and profit, only to quickly flip the companies in which they invest. We take a completely different approach to investing. We provide long-term, patient capital, coupled with operational expertise, and strategic guidance, to help support oft overlooked entrepreneurs in the consumer vertical.
