Alongside my advisory work, I occasionally take an equity stake in businesses where I see both strong potential and a trusted relationship already in place.
This is never just about funding. It’s about backing people I believe in, and helping shape something of long-term value — with both commitment and care.
Partnership, not transaction
I only consider investment in businesses I’ve worked with closely for a sustained period. A minimum of 12 months gives both sides the time to understand one another properly — how the business operates, what’s really driving it, and whether the right conditions for partnership exist.
There’s no pitch. No hard sell. And no obligation. It’s simply a natural next step — if the relationship is strong, the ambition is shared, and we both believe that working more closely together will move the business forward.
Selective by design
This part of my work is intentionally limited. The value lies in depth, not scale — in working with a small number of people and businesses I trust, and where I can make a meaningful long-term contribution.
If that sounds like the kind of partnership you’d value, I’d be happy to start a quiet conversation.
