The Follow-On Problem
Funds keep reserves to back their winners a second time. We rarely follow on, and the reasons come down to what a reserve is for.
We arrange each investment in its own SPV, so every co-investor sees the company they are backing and decides on it alone.
We invest selectively on a deal-by-deal basis, with a focus on fundamentals.
We identify opportunities, underwrite them carefully, and assemble capital around the ones that pass through our filters. Each investment is a discrete decision, and while we operate across private markets, the instrument always stays secondary to the discipline.
We work behind the scenes, so the companies we back can take the stage.
We look past trends to the underlying forces that create them.
We pass on more than we back, and we ask the uncomfortable questions before a deal closes, because the only conviction worth acting on is one we can defend.
We take a high-conviction approach to ensure each investment stands on its own merit.
Every deal sits within its own SPV, with no fund-level pressure distorting the decision. Co-investors participate in specific ideas rather than a pooled strategy, and because we take a small number of positions, we can take each of them seriously.

Each deal reaches you in the portal on its own, and you decide on each one.
