Frequently asked questions

1
What is an Operating Partner exactly?
Most investment funds are great at dealmaking, but lack the time and expertise to really help management work through their challenges. That is why most funds work with Operating Partners: experienced professionals who have been through the journey and now help the next generation of companies. In practice, this means that sometimes we merely act as a coach or advisor and in other cases we step in nearly full-time to help out.

My investors don't understand my business. We are stuck in endless meetings. Can you help?
Absolutely, we see this dynamic very often. Our founder Matti van der Gronde, has worked on both sides of the table (management & PE) and knows how to translate between both worlds. We help to translate your thoughts into an investment story. And vice versa we help investment funds to translate their questions/demands into a practical plan that management can actually deliver on while also managing the day-to-day.

Most likely we do not know your specific niche exactly, but we have the background to get up to speed in record pace.
