Strategic Growth Partnerships:
The Incubator

We created an incubator model to support founders who are still building — offering strategic guidance, capital, and hands-on partnership to help scale the business before pursuing an exit.
 

For founders who are not yet ready to sell, but know they need help getting there, we offer capital and hands-on support to accelerate growth and unlock enterprise value.
 

  • Growth capital and operational insight

  • Support with go-to-market, revenue strategy, and team building

  • A founder-first approach focused on protecting equity and legacy
