We work with founders building focused companies, bringing operational expertise to explore sequenced expansion from initial traction to multi-line businesses.
We explore companies built for sequenced expansion, not just initial traction. The strongest companies solve one narrow problem exceptionally well and are structurally positioned to expand into durable, multi-line businesses.
