04 — Equity

Hold,
don’t trade.

Equity is the firm’s long-term ownership arm. It is being built to take on established technology and market-infrastructure businesses whose founders have carried them this far, and whose technology now needs its next chapter.

For the operators who carried it
this far.

We are interested in operators whose technology is older than it should be and whose owners have run out of road to fix it, but whose customers are still here, and whose work is still worth continuing.

The intent is to let founders step back without flipping what they built, and to modernise the underlying technology on a calendar that does not depend on a fund cycle.

What we look for
  1. 01An established technology or market-infrastructure business whose customers are still here.
  2. 02Technology that is older than it should be, and owners who have run out of road to fix it.
  3. 03Founders who are ready to step back, and want the work to continue rather than be flipped.
How we would hold
  1. 01For the long term, on a calendar that does not depend on a fund cycle.
  2. 02Modernising the underlying technology at a pace the business and its customers can absorb.
  3. 03Keeping the business whole, rather than breaking it up for parts.

Equity is in formation and does not yet hold any businesses.
