Operator Capital
I back businesses that already work — and take them further.
Live in-market, real users, real cash flow — and ready to scale. You get capital plus the operating playbook, AI implementation and distribution behind a portfolio of businesses I actually run.
I invest in businesses that are already trading.
Not an idea fund. If your business is live, has customers and makes money, I can help you go bigger, faster.
01
Currently trading
A live product or service, in the market, with real usage.

Customers who already chose you — retention worth scaling.
03
Cash flow
Revenue coming in; at, near, or on a credible path to profit.
04
Ready for the next level
A clear reason capital + operating leverage unlocks a step-change.
Sectors I know best: fintech · trading & brokerage · digital education · subscription & recurring · performance marketing · AI-enabled businesses. Adjacent sectors considered when the fundamentals are strong.
Money is the easy part. I bring the operating leverage.
Capital that scales with you
Deployed from my own balance sheet — decisions made by the operator you'll actually work with, not a committee.
An operating playbook
The same growth, monetisation and retention systems running across my own portfolio, applied to yours.
AI implementation as standard
The AI processes that lifted margins across my businesses get installed in yours — built in, not an upsell.
Distribution & network
Partner, platform and affiliate relationships built over 15 years in fintech and trading, opened up to accelerate acquisition.
From application to build.

Straight answers.
What stage of business do you back?
Businesses that are already trading — live in-market, with real users and revenue. I'm not an idea fund; if you're pre-revenue, this isn't the right door yet.
What structures do you invest through?
It depends on the business — equity is the usual shape, but structure follows the situation. Terms are discussed after screening, not on a pricing page.
Which sectors?
Where I add the most: fintech, trading and brokerage, digital education, subscription and recurring-revenue models, performance marketing, and AI-enabled businesses. Adjacent sectors when the fundamentals are strong.
How hands-on are you?
Hands-on is the point. You get the playbooks, the network and the AI implementation — an operator in the trenches, not a passive line on your cap table.
We're pre-revenue — is there any fit?
Honestly: not for capital. Build to real users and revenue first — the AI consultancy door may still be relevant if you have an operating business elsewhere.

Already trading, with users and cash flow?
Two minutes to start. I read every qualified application — and if it's a fit, you get an operator, not a committee.
