INVESTING
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we are excited to have opportunities to partner with innovators. We are eager to find ways to add value to your mission and objectives. We seek to leverage our personal experience, longstanding consumer industry relationships, and access to third party resources to create significant value where we invest. Our preference is to play an active (and supportive) role in control situations, but we do selectively make minority investments.
Raising capital isn’t just about the money. It is also about finding the right partner, someone who understands your business and who can help you grow it better. Our dedicated consumer focus, deep experience, and proprietary network enable us to be value-added partners along the investment continuum. In addition to our own capital, we typically partner with one to two institutional capital providers in the investments we lead.
“John was the first institutional investor to share my vision for what Urban Air was becoming, a powerhouse in the children’s entertainment space. He and his team worked side-by-side with me to build the industry’s best leadership team, navigate through the pandemic, and transition from leading one brand to five children’s focused brands. He was always a positive and constructive board member. We had an incredible ride together and hope to do it again in the future.”
