We work in the verticals we've built companies in — e-commerce, building materials, supply chain, real estate, and LATAM software. Over two decades of operating experience informs every advisory engagement, board seat, and investment we make.
Customer acquisition strategy, marketplace positioning, vendor and sourcing management, technology platform selection, ERP and back-office architecture, and AI integration across the commerce stack. We've scaled these systems from startup to nine figures.
Residential and commercial product strategy across door hardware, electrical, plumbing, and lighting. Business strategy, category management, and go-to-market for manufacturers and distributors operating in fragmented, relationship-driven markets.
End-to-end supply chain architecture — from global sourcing and vendor negotiation to fulfillment optimization and last-mile logistics. We design procurement systems that reduce cost, improve velocity, and create structural margin advantages.
Special situation real estate acquisition and hotel repositioning. Operator's approach to value creation across residential, commercial, and hospitality assets with a hands-on management philosophy.
E-commerce and software investing in Latin America with a concentration in Brazil. Seed-stage investing and strategic advisory for Brazilian companies expanding into U.S. markets — bridging operational playbooks across borders.
Constructive engagement with microcap public companies that require strategic direction, governance reform, or operational restructuring. We take positions where hands-on involvement can unlock significant shareholder value.
Seed-to-exit founder advising. Go-to-market strategy, operations scaling, capital planning, and exit preparation — informed by having built and sold companies ourselves, not by theory.
Active board participation with a focus on strategy, capital allocation, and operational accountability. We engage directly, ask the hard questions, and hold management to measurable outcomes.
Private equity, structured credit, and LP positions. Concentrated bets in sectors we know. If we can't contribute operating value beyond capital, we pass.
Constructive activism in microcap public companies. We identify businesses with strong fundamentals but weak governance or unclear strategy, then engage to drive specific, measurable change.
Special situation real estate acquisition and hotel repositioning. Small-to-mid-market projects with an operator's approach to value creation — hands-on, not passive capital.
We invest in businesses we understand at the operational level. Every position begins with a fundamental question: can we evaluate management decisions, competitive positioning, and execution quality from direct experience? We commit capital where we can contribute insight — not just funding — and where our pattern recognition creates a durable edge in due diligence and post-investment value creation.
Our portfolio is concentrated in sectors where we have deep domain expertise. Every position has an identifiable catalyst and a clear path to value realization. We prioritize situations where our engagement — whether at the board level, through operational advisory, or via activist participation — can accelerate outcomes and deliver tangible results.
Board opportunities, co-investment, founder advisory, or sector-specific diligence. We respond to inquiries that are specific about what you're looking for.
