The shortest distance between two points has always been a straight line. We cut the noise, find the fair and simple path, and operate what we invest in.
Openings, turnarounds, franchising, the Saturday rush — as owners and operators, not spectators. We know what this room costs and what it can earn.
Owner, operator, consultant, and board member — from the bar to the back office. Capital that has read the P&L and worked the pass.

Capital for restaurant, retail, and hospitality businesses — concepts and operators we understand, in an industry we've lived in since 1993.
Not passive money. We've owned and run the businesses we back — openings, turnarounds, franchising, and everything a P&L can throw at you.
Consulting and board work for owners and management teams — pricing, growth, operations, and the honest conversation about what the business really needs.
Since 1993, Aaron has been a leader in the restaurant and retail industry — as an owner, a consultant, an operator, and a board member. That range is the point: he has sat on every side of the table an operator will ever face, and it shapes how he looks at every investment.
Restaurants, retail, and hospitality — operating businesses in the industry we know. We look at concepts, operators, and situations where three decades of hands-on experience gives us an honest read on the opportunity.
Both, deliberately. Capital opens the door, but operating experience is what we bring to the table — ownership, day-to-day operations, consulting engagements, and board seats across 87 brands on 6 continents.
