Operating Partner for Equity
You have a business that makes money but it's a mess. I come in and fix it: operations, growth, and structure, in exchange for equity. When it's worth more, we both win. I operate, I don't just advise.
Bring me inI partner with owners of real, profitable businesses. I come in to fix operations, growth and structure for equity, or to build a deal where we both win. Not a course. Not theory. I take a position and we grow it together.

01 / Work With Me
Each track has a clear entry point and a clear fit. Pick the one that matches where you actually are.
You have a business that makes money but it's a mess. I come in and fix it: operations, growth, and structure, in exchange for equity. When it's worth more, we both win. I operate, I don't just advise.
Bring me inWe build something together, both with skin in the game. You bring the business or the opportunity; I bring capital, growth, and execution. We structure it so the upside is shared. Not a favor, a partnership.
Structure a dealBusiness, asset, property, or investment idea. Submit it to the desk with the numbers. If it's a fit you get a fast, direct answer. If it isn't, you get a clear no.
Submit a deal02 / The Deal Desk
This is a filter, not a networking form. Read it before you submit. A clear fit gets a fast yes. Everything else gets a clear no.
03 / What I Bring
Not a strategy deck. I operate. When I take a position, these are the levers I pull to make the business worth more.
Find what's actually broken: the bottlenecks, the leaks, the quiet money drains. Then fix them. Most profitable businesses are one or two fixes from being worth far more.
Marketing and acquisition that actually sells, not vanity metrics. I've built this in my own companies and I bring it straight into yours.
Pricing, offer, and conversion. Often the fastest way to lift a business's value isn't more customers. It's charging correctly and closing better.
Make the business run without the owner in every decision. Systems, hires, and process, so it's an asset, not a job.
Equity, revenue share, or a buy-in, structured up front so incentives are aligned and both sides win when the value goes up. Clean terms, in writing.
I'm in it with you, not sending advice from the sidelines. My upside depends on the business actually getting better, so it does.
04 / Positions
Names and logos stay private by design. What follows isn't a spread of side projects. It's a single operating engine, and the positions it has funded.
A UK growth agency, and a Dubai company that grows creators on Instagram and keeps their accounts clean, clearing violations and restrictions before they cost reach. This is where the capital is generated, and where every system that later goes into a partner's business is proven first.
THE PROOF · WHAT THE ENGINE HAS BUILT
A minority stake in a second agency, plus shareholder positions in two more UK companies. Operators worth backing, held close enough to add real value.
A UK property company that cash-flows every month. Patient capital, held and compounding, and the vehicle behind the development below.
A capital position in a hotel development, held through the property company. A planned exit around three years. Long by design, and nothing is promised.
If the engine fits what you're building, bring me the deal.

05 / Network
Masterminds, deal rooms, and working sessions with founders and operators running real businesses. Proximity is not the point. What gets built afterwards is.

07 / FAQ
Yes. I partner with owners and operators internationally. All work is in English, and remote is the default.
That's usually the whole point. I come in as an operating partner for equity, or we structure a deal: revenue share, a buy-in, or a joint venture, so we both win when the business is worth more. Terms are agreed up front, in writing. Straight fee work is the exception, not the default.
Real businesses that already make money. It doesn't need to be clean or polished. Honestly, the messy ones are my favourite, because a profitable business that's run badly is the easiest to make worth more. What I won't touch is an idea with no revenue behind it.
Fast, when the submission is complete. Clear numbers and terms get a direct answer, usually within a few business days. Incomplete submissions take longer or get declined.
Selectively. Most of what I bring is growth, distribution, and structure, and I'm already a shareholder in several companies. Cash participation is considered case by case where the thesis and terms are strong. Nothing here is a commitment or financial advice.
08 / Get Started
Two tracks. Pick the one that fits. You'll answer a few questions when you book. I read them before we speak, so the call starts at the real problem instead of the introductions.
