Role

We primarily act as lead or co-lead investor, setting the terms, joining the board of directors, and working hard on behalf of the management team and shareholders.

Relationship

We strive to develop a trusted, constructive and supportive relationship with management without encroaching on their autonomy.

Mindset

Capital-efficiency governs our attitude toward compensation plans, operating expenditures, and value creation. Its practice focuses the mind, inspires resourcefulness, and promotes wise decision-making.
