Our passion is creating and growing companies that create great products and deliver superior services to our customers. We start companies from scratch, either on our own or with partners. We invest in existing companies. We acquire companies from others. We expand geographically by partnering with talented individuals around the world.

Like everyone in business, we pursue the holy grail of positive cash flow and better-than-market return on investment. Towards this goal, we provide our portfolio companies with centralized services, including assistance in the areas of strategy, planning, finance, systems, accounting, and human resources. Investment and best practices are leveraged across multiple organizations.
