A family office · Since 1984
Our own money, on our own timeline, at every stage.
We have been backing entrepreneurs since 1984. There is no outside fund and no clock forcing a sale. That lets us structure each investment around the business and the person running it, and stay involved for as long as it makes sense.
One decision maker and our own internal capital. We can move quickly, structure around the business rather than a fund model, and hold without a deadline.
Four decades of backing entrepreneurs, from first checks to buyouts, and board seats held for years rather than quarters. We take those seats seriously and pick up the phone for the small problems as well as the big ones.
The firm is named for an old growth forest our family has protected since the 1800s. We think about businesses the same way.
