Ideally, the business operates in a fragmented industry with recurring revenue, low customer concentration, and stable historical cash flow. I’m particularly interested in sectors like home services, B2B services, or healthcare-adjacent operations where strong local or operational moats exist but tech enablement or growth strategy is underdeveloped. I bring both capital and hands-on operating experience, with a long-term commitment to steward the company and its people.
