Bucking conventional wisdom comes naturally to us because we’re from the world of entrepreneurship and executive leadership, not finance. Our team brings diverse thinking and a fresh perspective that’s too often lacking in this business.

We like to dig in and forge deep alliances. That’s why we hold a board or observer seat at over half our companies. Even when we don’t have a formal position, we build close ties with our entrepreneurs and serve as inside advisors. Over the years, we’ve earned a reputation for being practical straight-shooters. It helps us form syndicates with firms that bring complementary strengths and specialized insights to support our companies.
