About

Building compelling technology companies in middle America.

Investment approach

Thesis
We invest in companies who deliver B2B software technology services via the cloud using a subscription based business model. The solution doesn’t have to be bleeding edge but it should give the company a unique opportunity to target a new emerging market or to disrupt an existing market. In either case, this means potential for outsized growth.Source (opens in a new tab)
