Macoto Collective

Macoto Collective partners with visionary leaders to build fast-growing companies that can scale into the future. We are a tight-knit group of veteran investors, operators, and practitioners, with extensive experience across private equity transactions, functional leadership roles, and company-building from idea-stage through to late-stage enterprises. Our focus is on companies in the emerging mid-market of North America. While our backgrounds are in the private equity, venture capital, and startup ecosystems, we operate a different, independent model that focuses solely on investing our own time and capital. Our approach centers on value creation engagements that are responsive to the needs of the companies that we support, with the goal of preparing them for their next phase of growth. This work leverages three complementary practices: financial oversight, operational consulting, and leadership coaching. We believe that the increasing ubiquity of private capital is creating a historically good moment for the best entrepreneurs to create and capture value in the private markets. And yet, for a variety of reasons, most entrepreneurs cede much of the value of their teams’ hard work to institutional investors. Macoto is built on the idea that it is possible to shift the balance back to operators through focused preparation across the core functions of their businesses.
