Post Acquisition
There are two way to drive value post acquisition - increase revenue, or slash costs. We do not see cost cutting as a sustainable or ethical business practice, and buy businesses in which we are certain we can drive top-line revenue growth.We leverage a substantial network of experienced managers who provide both strategic and operational support to our portfolio companies.This network consists of experienced sales leaders, digital marketing experts, product/engineering managers, customer support leaders, and financial analysts.We are operators, not investors. We heavily participate in operational activities.
