We are investors and operators searching for opportunities to back other entrepreneurs or buy businesses which are in need of digital transformation. We understand that some great businesses can take time to flourish. We are not afraid of down rounds, businesses in distress, or even in administration. We are not obsessed with unicorns, we are obsessed with great businesses or businesses that can be great. Sometimes we invest for small minority positions in companies with which we have little involvement. Other times we take controlling stakes in businesses we fully manage. We stick to our knitting and only invest in businesses we understand.
