“As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the issues faced by growing businesses and work tirelessly with our portfolio companies to help solve them. One very current theme for all companies is one of ESG - we incorporate sustainability and social responsibility into how we invest and operate with portfolio companies, as it will ultimately lead to better outcomes for all stakeholders.”
