How We Create Value

Sector Focus

Technology Advantage

Operational Mindset

   We invest in mature, profitable companies across Industrials, Life Sciences, Energy, and Digital Infrastructure. These are sectors where technology adoption has often lagged; with the right partner, the opportunity for transformation and durable value creation is significant.

Operational Mindset

Operational Mindset

  We have built and run companies ourselves. That experience informs how we work with management teams: focused collaboration, clear priorities, and a disciplined approach to outcomes that matter.

   Yellowwood is our proprietary capital intelligence platform. Originally designed to support our investment process, it is now shared with CEOs of all stages and sectors to provide clarity around investment readiness.

An Investment Case Study

Creating Value in the Construction Industry

Overview

Dextall is a New York–based company modernizing the building envelope category through prefabrication and design automation. Dextall's prefab façade platform accelerates delivery of much-needed U.S. housing stock while improving building efficiency, cutting install times by 80%, labor needs by 87%, and energy costs by 20%.


We led Dextall’s $15 million expansion round and joined the board to support its next phase of growth.


Investment Thesis

Dextall exemplifies our approach: a traditional U.S. industry with high complexity, rising cost pressures, and a clear opportunity for technology to unlock value. The company’s current backlog exceeds $100 million, with a strong concentration in affordable housing projects.


Our Role

We partnered with Dextall’s leadership to refine strategic priorities, speed technology adoption, and improve financial sophistication. Yellowwood was introduced early in the relationship and is now used by both management and the board.

Clarity That Drives Smarter Decisions

How we scale the work: Yellowwood is our capital intelligence platform, and we use it for underwriting and portfolio monitoring. Originally created for internal use only, we are making it publicly available to create a virtuous cycle: help CEOs prepare for investment, and help fellow, non-competing capital partners with fast and objective deal analysis, portfolio management, and introductions to high-quality companies.
