Some, like our founder, opt for independent sponsorship, fostering flexibility in deal-making. 💰Exploring New Horizons: Independent sponsors pursue diverse deals, tailoring strategies to unique opportunities. This entrepreneurial approach, while less stable than institutional funds, offers agility in navigating the private equity landscape. 💰Power of Flexibility: Flexibility is vital in seizing emerging opportunities and staying ahead of market changes.
