ALIGNING PARTNERS & PRINCIPLES

We partner with capital providers and business leaders who align with Portion's Operating Principles so that businesses and people flourish.

OUR OPERATING PRINCIPLES

at portion, we are more than capital MANAGERS.

Our team brings decades of operational leadership, disciplined investment acumen, and a people-first approach to those we serve.  As growth equity partners, we come alongside proven leaders, assess their business plans, and design investment strategies for attractive risk-adjusted returns and value that lasts beyond our involvement.

Our work is anchored in convictions that guide every decision:

Operating Principles

1
We will align capital with investment opportunities.
2
We will join time-tested best practices with continually advancing methods for finding and solving problems in a way that delights investors, business managers, and team members.
3
As we develop long-term strategic plans and exit strategies, we will look beyond Portion's involvement and make decisions that grow value, not destroy it.
4
We will make order where there is chaos and invite others to do the same for the sake of everyone's happiness and health.
5
We will design a workplace that sends people home with enough emotional capital to be great spouses, parents, and neighbors.
6
We recognize that humans are drawn to narrative, and therefore, we will regularly share stories of investment success that build trust instead of enmity between capital, business, and team members.
7
Conflict is inevitable and redeemable when quickly addressed with humility, honesty, and grace.
8
With a spirit of generosity, we will put others first and war against the greed, fear, and pride so prevalent in the marketplace.
9
Out of desire for a high-performing marketplace that values human flourishing, we will freely and humbly share lessons learned from victory and defeat in hope others will pursue a similar mission.
10
We will be fearless and free in any outcome knowing that our every need has and will be met. God is our Portion.
