WE ARE LONG-TERM
FOCUSED
We understand that building businesses is a messy and non-linear process. That’s true of our own firm, as well as that of our portfolio companies. We expect and accept volatility as part of the journey of building great companies. Our success will stem from our ability to keep our gaze towards the horizon while navigating the choppy waters ahead.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO
While we always focus first on the 20% of the challenge that impacts 80% of the outcome, we nonetheless never neglect the details required to ensure 100% excellence.
OUR COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL BEHAVIOR IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
It is at the core of our existence as a firm. As a partnership, we are collectively responsible to hold each other accountable to the highest standards of behavior. We keep a low public profile and point the limelight at our portfolio companies. However we always act as if our actions are in the public domain such that nothing we do will ever embarrass us if it became public.
We do not believe investing is necessarily a zero-sum game. While we strive to be the best in our field, we do so while partnering wherever possible with our peers, competitors and other constituents. To solidify our position as a leader in our field, we sacrifice short-term gains when needed to ensure long-term alignment with the broad community we operate in.
Our legacy will not be made in a day or determined by a single outcome. It will be measured by the growth we enable over decades to come.
OUR INVESTORS ARE PLACING THEIR TRUST AND THEIR CAPITAL IN OUR HANDS
We will always protect and prioritize their interests while promoting the interests of our portfolio companies.
