What began as a family office has grown into a private equity firm focused on software, consulting, and professional services. For more than two decades, we’ve built, acquired, and scaled multiple businesses across North America and Asia — always grounded in a simple truth: you don’t grow businesses; you grow people, and people grow the business.
We back and build exceptional businesses in software, consulting, and professional services — combining capital, strategic guidance, and operational expertise to create lasting value.
