Background

We operate with the highest level of personal and professional integrity and believe in transparency as a core value
As a private investment company, our investment horizon is broader and our hold period substantially longer than a typical closed-end fund – we evaluate each investment and partnership as if we were going to be in business together for the next 30 years
Our entrepreneurial backgrounds and connection to the global entrepreneurial ecosystem through Elliott and the Summit network allow us to add significant value to our investment partners
Our 40+ years of combined investment experience across private equity, structured debt, venture capital, and public equities affords us a unique perspective expressed through detailed, proprietary analysis and an ability to look at an investment from a variety of perspectives

Strategy

We have a broad and flexible investment mandate under which we evaluate future investment opportunities and partnerships - from real estate to private equity and debt investments to venture / growth equity.
