The Collaborative flywheel approach builds sustainable advantage – little wins over time grow into large wins.
Companies with niche capabilities in the right categories and potential for growth are perfect matches for our experience, resources and capital.
Even the best business models are worthless without great execution. We build awesome teams and leverage best-in-class playbooks from prior successes. Lastly, we maintain the entrepreneurial secret sauce which enables the freedom to make it real.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast. We invest in our people with transparent compensation systems, career planning, training, and mentoring that supports internal promotions. We hold ourselves accountable to an authentic environment and social purpose.
Success begets success generating cash flow. Unlike some investors, we don’t have to exit on a specific timeline. This means that when something works we have the patience to double down.
Scale unlocks opportunities. Capital combined with experience allows us to take well calculated bets to invest capital for new capabilities and scale. Making these investments successful require us to start at the beginning of the flywheel again.

Be courageous and think big. Accept no less than the highest standard. Raise the bar to deliver higher quality in everything you do.
Be curious, planned and rigorous in your analysis. Measure twice, cut once. Don’t let problems sit, bias towards solutions and action.
Don’t think less of yourself, but think of yourself less. Avoid blame, seek progress, value alternate options, and best idea wins.
Be vulnerable, transparent and empathetic. Work to establish trust by taking conflicts head on. Be kind in your approach to hard discussions. Avoid transactional thinking and zero-sum games.
Life is short and work is a meaningful part of your life. Work hard but enjoy the people and journey. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
