Hands-on private capital
Invest. Build. Scale.
We back leading businesses and take a seat at the table. Our own capital, one decision-maker, no fund to return: we move in weeks and stay for years, and the person who invests is the person who shows up.
How we invest
Concentrated, long-term positions in businesses we understand well enough to help run. Capital is only part of what we bring.
Our own capital
No fund, no investment committee, no exit clock. We invest when we are convinced, and we hold as long as the thesis holds.
At the table, not only on the cap table
Every position comes with time: strategy, hiring, financing, the hard conversations. Founders and co-investors get a partner who has run the company, not just the model.
Few positions, well chosen
We say no to most things. The ones we say yes to are businesses leading their market, with a credible path to scale and people we want to work with for years.
Occasionally we take advisory mandates where an owner's perspective is what is missing.
What we look for
We are sector-agnostic. What we look for is the same in any industry.
- A leading positionBusinesses that lead their market or segment, or have a credible claim to.
- Room to scaleA path to growth that needs capital and management, not a change of business model.
- Complexity we understandCapital-intensive, regulated or technical businesses, where operating experience changes the outcome.
- People we want to work withFounders and managers who want a partner at the table, not a passenger on the cap table.
About
Who is behind Yellowspot
Yellowspot is led by an operator with more than twenty-five years across management consulting, building and selling digital businesses, and the executive management of capital-intensive assets in energy and infrastructure.
That path runs through strategy work for large corporates, founding and growing companies through to their acquisition, and board and executive roles in businesses operating in several European and American markets.
It is a deliberately small vehicle: one decision-maker, own capital, and the time to be present in every position it takes.
