Specializations
Building vertical HoldCos within our horizontal HoldCo — each led by proven operators and designed to scale into enduring middle-market businesses.
Each specialization represents a focused, long-term investment thesis led by a dedicated Operating Partner.
Our goal is to create unfair competitive advantages within every vertical HoldCo — pairing strong operators with the resources, playbooks, and capital required to grow each platform through M&A, incubation, and hands-on operational excellence.
Every specialization we launch is built for permanence and designed to evolve into a self-sustaining middle-market business.
