What we do

In our travels, we have seen many young companies whose promise was not fully unlocked due to a lack of nurturing, knowhow, sophistication, audacity, creativity and bench strength on the part of managers, Boards and investors.

The same asset could be worth nothing or mega-something, depending on whose hands it is in and how it is developed. We are dreamers and doers with significant successes under our belts, and we hope to partner with owners, managers and investors with an interest in building exciting businesses for the long term.

We seek promising young companies nominally at the seed to Series B stage, who could benefit from our unique mix of backgrounds and expertise, which we will deliver as a “swat team”.  We could also be right for a relatively mature business with good but unexciting business fundamentals, looking to pull off an exciting pivot or business evolution.

For MI6:IA partners, we explore a blend of providing capital and engaged value-add in exchange for additional equity, akin to but different from traditional models of seed/venture capital/private equity, or Board member/Venture Partner/consultant. We may be investors, and we may become Board members, but we bring more than what the typical individual Board member, investor or Venture Partner brings to the table. We think, act and engage like business owners, sitting on the same side of the table.  And we show up in a swarm.
