Investment Criteria

U.S.-based businesses with annual earnings <$5M and consistent results over time
Operating Pillars
Integrity is not situational. We hold to our word when it is inconvenient, when it is expensive, and when no one would know the difference.
The operators we back understand their business better than we ever will. We ask before we advise, and we contribute where our skills genuinely move the business forward.
We operate as a meritocracy and leave ego at the door. Titles do not settle arguments — the strongest reasoning does, whatever the rank of the person making it.
We take on the unglamorous work others skip, and we do everything in our power to see a business succeed. Effort is the one input we control completely.
