It looks for passionate, resilient, and ambitious teams that challenge conventions in financial services and possess unique insight and an unfair advantage in a global market. Drawing on its own experience as founders, operators, and investors, the firm emphasizes respect, transparency, and empathy. It leverages a network of financial institutions and strategic LPs who can become customers, partners, advisors, co-investors, or acquirers for portfolio companies.
