Interests:
1. Financial health & stability.
2. Profitability: Businesses with strong net profit margins and sustainable cash flows.
3. Debt load: Manageable debt.
4. Revenue consistency: We dislike businesses with extreme seasonality or unpredictable revenue streams.
5. Market position & competitive advantage.
Moat & differentiation: We value businesses that have a clear competitive edge—whether through technology, brand, network effects, or regulation.
6. Low customer churn: We avoid businesses with high customer attrition, as this leads to constant spending on acquisition.
7. Recurring revenue model: We prefer businesses with subscription-based models or long-term contracts (e. g. , SaaS, B2B solutions).
8. Scalability & growth potential.
9. Tech-Enabled growth: We appreciate businesses that use AI, automation, or software to scale.
10. M&A potential: Businesses that could expand through acquisitions rather than being maxed out in their market.
11. Market size & demand: We favour businesses in growing industries over stagnant or shrinking ones.
AI, B2B SaaS. We dislike highly regulated businesses with compliance-heavy overheads unless the regulation is a competitive advantage, overly seasonal businesses, low-margin, high-churn consumer goods, management & operational efficiency, and strong leadership but not overly dependent on one person.
