Investment thesis
The firm emphasizes an exit-centric approach, recognizing that most startups exit through acquisition rather than IPO. It embeds acquisition thinking into portfolio companies from the outset, helping founders build business models, product roadmaps, and go-to-market strategies with potential acquirers in mind. It supports founders through strategic positioning, psychological preparation for the M&A process, mapping the acquirer landscape years ahead of an exit, and value optimization during negotiations. The team draws on extensive M&A experience, citing 50+ transactions totaling over $20B, applying valuation rigor to maximize acquisition appeal and outcomes.
