20/20 Capital Partners is not a fund.  Rather, it is best described as an “opportunity-based” investment, ownership and management organization that, along with its own capital, seeks to match the financial resources of other high net worth individuals with unique and aligned business opportunities.

What makes us different is our insistence upon direct management and corporate involvement, if not control, in a target company. We embrace an investment philosophy that is principled and based on a defined set of strict, underlying business characteristics and standards that each investment must possess.  We take the approach that fewer, well-managed and financed undertakings have a far greater opportunity for future success than the shotgun approach in which an investment organization or fund makes many bets with the hope that one or two  will yield a big payday.

With 20/20, an investor in a particular transaction is truly a partner.  We look to match the personal financial wealth and professional experiences of an individual with each particular investment by seeking their involvement in Board or Advisory positions.  In some instances we may seek alignment between an investment and an investor to create synergies that go beyond the investment target.  While some investors may simply be looking to diversify their investment portfolio, others may wish to be involved on our Board, on oversight committees or in other strategic matters.  In short, when an investor assumes an “active equity” role, we like to think that our “bench strength” has improved.

Although a typical investment transaction does not have a defined time horizon for exit, we believe that architecting or planning for an appropriate institutional exit at the onset of capitalization is vital.  This strategy forces our portfolio companies to focus on important qualities and performance measurements that are utilized by the industry or sector in which they operate, and dictates that these standards are used to gauge management performance. Since we seek only “Accelerator Stage” businesses in which to invest, these businesses will already possess certain of the key financial and operating characteristics that are important to an institutional buyer or investor. Thus, our involvement is intended to refine specific operating attributes while packaging the business for value creation and investment optimization.
