Back the capital with someone who has run the business.
Funds in Madrid are judged by what they offer beyond capital. A founder values an operator from a vetted collective more than another introduction.
Where investors want more operating support
Operating support is usually requested for one of these reasons:
Founders ask what you bring besides cheques
The old answer was a contacts book. The better answer is a person who sits in the business.
A holding loses its finance lead
A portfolio company needs a finance lead or a head of sales at once, and the fund has no one on its own team to send.
Plans need owners
A value-creation plan approved at board level still needs a named person behind each workstream.
No appetite for a platform team
Management companies and family offices want operating capability without a permanent operating team on their own payroll.
Vetted operators can join a portfolio company within weeks. The firm keeps its own model, and the company has a senior executive for precisely as long as it needs one.
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
For funds and family offices
Funds get an operator chosen for one holding and one moment, with our governance around the engagement.
Reviews the fund can see
Our governance stays around the engagement for the whole hold, and the fund sees the reviews.
One collective, several holdings
A second portfolio company in need can be briefed to the same collective, with no new relationship to build.
The holding's brief, kept
Operators move on; when one does, the holding's brief is already written and the next search starts from it.
Respectful of founders
A Spanish founder who still owns a stake will work with an operator who respects the company's history, and we weigh that in the match.
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.
