Investment Strategy

We are the ideal fit for founders searching for a strategic partner while they still desire to maintain operational control.
We are the first professional investor for companies that create products people love but face operational challenges from rapid expansion.

Strong from the Foundation

We work closely with founders providing financial, legal, and operational support, starting from building solid teams around them to sustain their growth nationally and internationally. We utilize our team’s knowledge and our network of industry contacts to provide insight and direction that partner companies may not have initially had access to.

Partners from
the start

We enjoy partnering with companies before an initial investment to ensure their organization is ready to take on new capital and a new trajectory. Pre-investment, we provide financial and legal restructuring support to prepare companies for a solid and long-lasting relationship.

More than
Investing

Aside from the traditional support we provide in corporate governance and financial management, we help our partner companies implement and execute high-impact projects in the following areas: Business Strategy, Human Resources, Business Digitalization, Geographic Expansion,Product Development, and Analytics.

Investment Type

We acquire significant minority positions (>30%) in profitable and growing private consumer businesses, and occasionally we acquire majority positions.

Companies we invest in provide products and services to the South East Asian middle class that enjoys an upscale lifestyle. These businesses have proven business models but need financial support to speed up their expansion and operational support to improve processes and strengthen their teams.

Size of Investments and Timeline

We invest from $5 to 20 mil for a significant minority position. After an introductory meeting, if the business meets our criteria, we collect basic information to provide an initial valuation and prepare a letter of interest to set the premises for our partnership.
