Operators behind the capital, wherever the portfolio sits.
Managers and sponsors that use Jersey for their vehicles still have to run the companies they own somewhere else. A vetted collective gives them operating depth without a permanent team of their own.
Why managers ask for operators
In Jersey the request for operating support usually follows one of these:
A holding loses its finance lead
One of the portfolio companies wants a finance lead or a sales head straight away, and the manager cannot spare anyone from the team.
The plan needs owners
Once the board has signed off a value-creation plan, each part of it still needs one person who owns it.
Founders ask what you bring besides capital
The old answer was a contacts book. The better answer is a person who sits inside the business.
No wish for a permanent platform team
Smaller managers and family offices want operating capability without a team of their own on the payroll.
Within weeks a vetted operator can be working inside a portfolio company. Nothing about the manager's own operating model changes, while the portfolio company has a senior executive for as long as it is needed.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
Operating depth for managers
Managers get operators matched to one portfolio seat at a time, with our governance around each.
Reviews for the manager
Our reviews cover the whole engagement, and the manager sees them.
One collective, many holdings
When another holding needs help, the same collective of 800+ can be briefed.
Briefs kept on file
If an operator leaves, the brief for that holding is already written and the next search begins from it.
Clear of your clients
Each operator is checked for ties to your clients and counterparties before an introduction.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
