Direct Investments Our firm invests in U.S.-based private companies across stage and sector. We focus on quality of management and long-term growth prospects, favoring recurring revenue, capital efficiency, and protective moats. We are drawn to out-of-the-box and/or contrarian thinking, with an affinity for neglected corners. We place a high premium on being able to change course and/or respond to special situations without mandate constraints or fundraising concern. Most importantly, we invest in people we think we can trust even in the most difficult circumstances - and we have a long track record of doubling-down on our partners during moments of short-term difficulty.
