Partner, Food & Beverage / Commodities Trading

Individual Investor in Dubai, UAE

Interests: I am a silent investor looking for passive investment opportunities in promising and profitable sectors. My preference goes to businesses with existing operations, recurring revenue, and strong potential for scalability. While I am interested in the food & beverage space (including dark/cloud kitchens), I am also open to healthcare, education, tech, logistics, or any asset-light model with a clear value proposition. I do not wish to be involved in daily operations, but I can bring strategic capital and business support when needed. I am not interested in early-stage startups without proven traction. I am looking to support solid businesses with capital and strategic insight - especially in food & beverage, healthcare, logistics, and scalable service-based models. My goal is to partner with businesses that are already operating or generating revenue, and help them grow by providing silent capital without being involved in daily operations. I bring a strong network, strategic thinking, and a long-term vision.
Background: I am a business owner and international trader with over 15 years of experience in commercial strategy and business development across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I have managed multi-million dollar trading operations in the food & beverage and consumer goods sectors. Today, I am focused on passive investment opportunities in Dubai and the GCC region.

Managing Director, Hardware & Other Accessories Suppliers

Individual Buyer in Melbourne, Australia

Interests: We acquire established, profitable companies with strong cash flow and operational stability. Specifically, we look for: - USD $1.5M+ in discretionary earnings or EBITDA. - $10M+ in annual revenue, or equivalent scale based on industry economics. - Recurring or contracted revenue models with minimal key-person risk. - Two years of accountant-prepared or audited financials. - Clean ownership structure and transition flexibility. We are open to full or majority acquisitions, as well as structured transitions where the seller prefers to stay involved for a defined handover period. We avoid early-stage startups, e-commerce, leasehold hospitality, and businesses with highly volatile earnings. We evaluate opportunities based on financial fundamentals not industry buzz.
Background: We are a direct acquirer representing a private family office, focused on acquiring and growing established mid-market companies for the long term. We are not brokers or intermediaries — we invest our time and capital into businesses we intend to own and operate. Our team has deep experience in the business strategy, operations, and capital structuring. We have sourced and evaluated multiple mid-market transactions across North America, Australia, and select global markets — with a strong preference for recurring-revenue and asset-backed models. What sets us apart is our long-term approach: - We do not flip businesses — we build them. - We preserve legacy and support existing teams. - We bring capital, operational clarity, and strategic partnerships to the table. Sellers appreciate our discretion, flexibility, and fairness. We offer tailored deal structures, including partial buyouts and earn-outs, and we work closely with owners to ensure continuity and growth beyond transition. If you are exploring an exit, succession plan, or simply want to take some chips off the table we are ready to talk.

Managing Partner, Investment Fund

Individual Buyer in Dubai, UAE

Interests: We are actively seeking to invest in or acquire proprietary trading strategies and quantitative models with a proven track record of profitability. We prioritize strategies that demonstrate robust risk management, scalability, and adaptability to changing market conditions. Ideal candidates include systematic trading approaches, high-frequency trading (HFT) models, and discretionary strategies backed by strong data analytics. We prefer businesses that have consistent alpha generation, clear execution mechanisms, and transparent performance metrics. When evaluating businesses for investment or acquisition, we focus on: Sustainable Edge – Unique market insights, technological advantages, or proprietary algorithms. Scalability – The ability to deploy the strategy with increased capital without significant drawdowns. Risk-Adjusted Returns – A strong Sharpe ratio, controlled drawdowns, and capital preservation mechanisms. Operational Efficiency – Clean execution, robust infrastructure, and compliance with regulatory standards. We are particularly interested in trading firms, hedge funds, quant research labs, and algo-trading startups with a performance history and data-driven approach. Conversely, we avoid strategies that rely purely on market speculation, lack historical validation, or depend on unsustainable arbitrage opportunities. If you have a trading strategy or quant model that fits our criteria, we welcome the opportunity to discuss potential partnerships or acquisitions.
Background: We are a multi-strategy trading firm focused on quantitative trading, proprietary strategies, and alternative assets. We invest in and acquire high-performance trading models, quant strategies, and systematic approaches that demonstrate scalability, risk-adjusted returns, and strong execution. With expertise in hedge fund management, equities, commodities, and carbon markets, we work with traders, quants, and algorithmic developers to refine and scale profitable strategies. Our goal is to build a robust, data-driven trading operation while partnering with firms that align with our vision for long-term, sustainable alpha generation.
