Our Investment Approach

1. Identify the Market

We begin by identifying a highly fragmented, high-growth sector with favorable tailwinds—like healthcare. We study the regulatory landscape, demographic trends, unit economics, and exit potential, building conviction that the sector offers long-term enterprise value creation and downside protection.

 

 

2. Build the Board Team

We assemble an elite team of board members, operators, and advisors with deep industry experience, strategic relationships, and a track record of scaling businesses. This leadership core creates the foundation for disciplined growth, operational rigor, and credibility with both sellers and investors.

 

3. Acquire Companies That Fit Our Buy Box

We execute targeted acquisitions of profitable, founder-led businesses with strong cash flow, loyal staff, and operational stability. We prioritize companies with $2–25M in revenue, 15–150 employees, and predictable revenue in sectors that have simple economics. 

 

4. Consolidate into a Unified Platform

We integrate each company into a single operating system, standardizing financial controls, systems, recruitment, and compliance infrastructure. Through this consolidation, we unlock economies of scale, reduce overhead, and expand regional footprints—dramatically increasing enterprise value.
