Building the Next Phase — Seeking an Operating Partner

January 23, 2026

I’m exploring a minority-equity partnership with an experienced operator who wants to actively help grow an established, high-margin business with room and potential to scale. This would be a hands-on role focused on scaling revenue, systems, and partnerships — not a passive investment. Ideal fit: someone who enjoys building, has done this before, and is excited to grow something meaningful alongside a founder.

This is exactly the kind of work we do. We spend a lot of time designing and supporting minority-equity, hands-on operating partnerships where the real value comes from execution, not just capital. When the operator fit is right, this structure can unlock an entirely different growth curve. Feel free to connect at redacted
