Our approach is rooted in a long-term perspective and focuses on high conviction.
Being a high conviction investor means having a strong and unwavering belief in our investment strategy and the founders we back.
Concentrated Portfolio: We concentrate on a select few investments that we believe in strongly, rather than spreading resources across numerous opportunities.
In-Depth Research: We conduct extensive research and analysis to develop a deep understanding of the investee companies and the markets they operate in.
Rigorous Process: Forming conviction necessarily takes time and a process that seeks ground truth.
Active Management: We take an active approach, joining boards of directors and being as helpful as possible.
Patience and Discipline: We are prepared to weather market ups and downs and remain committed to investment choices.
