Managing Partner
CurrentAt Ridgeline, we are collaborative, experienced operators, focused on long-term value in enduring companies, including Cotopaxi, Bobo's, KCN Campgrounds, Joyfull Bakery, Solarcore, Bonafide Provisions, Force of Nature, Lifeforce, Sahajan, and Noka Organics.We are drawn to forward-looking businesses that are dedicated to making a difference and helping people lead healthier and more active lives. And we are energized by companies who make a positive impact on the planet. Our strategies include Majority Stake, Growth Equity, and Early Stage.We don’t have any outside investors in our firm - we invest our own capital. This gives us extraordinary flexibility in the size of investments we make as well as our investment timelines (we have none!) and the stage of the companies in which we invest or purchase. We prefer acquiring a majority stake, but we have also co-invested with like-minded investors.We understand what it’s like to be in the trenches and we use our experience to provide strategic guidance, operating expertise, and a vast network of contacts for teams seeking a collaborative partner. We are not hands off, but we’re also not intrusive to teams. Life is too short to work with people you don’t enjoy, so we look for companies with stellar teams and products we love.
