Operating experience for the people who allocate capital.
Managers and family offices on the island run lean. When the work outgrows the team, or a diligence question needs an operator rather than an analyst, they need senior help quickly and quietly.
What investment firms ask us for
Requests usually fall into four groups:
Operational diligence by someone who has run one
An operator who has run a manager or an administrator and can judge whether the set-up is real.
A key seat is empty
The finance or operations lead has gone, a launch is close, and a hire from overseas will take months.
The firm's own controls need a review
Compliance roles, outsourcing and reporting have grown informally and need a clear look before an investor gives one.
A board seat needs independence
Co-investors want a director who is not the sponsor, the founder or their lawyer.
Investment firms can draw an operator out of our collective of 800+, chosen for the firm and the stage it is at. For diligence, office cover or an independent board seat, on a services agreement between companies.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
Operators for allocators
A manager or family office on the island gets an operator matched to the specific seat, and our oversight for as long as it runs.
Reviews you can see
Our reviews run for the whole engagement, and you see them.
One collective, many seats
When another seat opens, the same collective of 800+ can be briefed.
Briefs on file
Should an operator move on, we already hold the brief for that seat, so finding the next person starts on day one.
Used to sensitive information
We match for operators used to handling investor and structure information with care.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
