Chief Investment Officer, 360VIA

Financial Institution in Columbus, USA

Interests: We focus on owning durable, cash-generating businesses that can compound value over long periods. The core filters are simple: strong unit economics, high margins, and consistent free cash flow. Businesses like Apple or Microsoft stand out because they combine pricing power, customer lock-in, and scalable models. Equally important is the presence of a defensible moat, network effects, brand strength, or switching costs as seen in Visa or Adobe. We also place significant weight on management quality and capital allocation discipline, which is why businesses like Berkshire Hathaway are so compelling. On the other hand, we tend to avoid structurally weak industries, those with low margins, heavy capital requirements, and intense competition where even strong operators struggle to create value. Ultimately, we are looking for high-quality businesses with long reinvestment runways, bought at sensible valuations, where the downside is protected and the upside compounds over time.
Background: We are a small, private lending and advisory firm founded in 2018, focused on providing tailored debt financing solutions to businesses. It operates primarily as a hybrid between a lender and financial consultant, offering services such as term loans, debt restructuring, and capital advisory across multiple industries. The firm positions itself as client-centric and flexible, helping companies access capital without giving up equity, while also advising on optimal debt structures and risk management. From an investment perspective, it is a small-scale, niche operator (10–50 employees) with a focus on customised financing rather than large institutional lending. This suggests a business model reliant on relationships, structuring expertise, and deal sourcing rather than balance-sheet scale. Bottom line: We are a boutique debt financing platform targeting underserved or growth-stage businesses, combining lending with advisory, but it remains relatively small and less proven compared to established institutional credit players.
