How we work
We don’t just consult—we partner.
Our team provides a range of innovative and practical strategies, all laser-focused on delivering measurable results and tangible impact. We combine our deep industry knowledge with a consistent commitment to excellence to provide exceptional value to each and every client.
Invest Own Capital
KF&Co. was launched with capital committed by its Founders, and is not affiliated with any one private equity firm. A group of our partners serve as our Investment Committee. Each of our partners participates in every investment.
More Than Money
Every investment aligns with the active participation of our team and aligned with you toward achieving the most imperative strategic priorities. As a partnership, our goal is to make companies more valuable than they would be without our involvement.
Investment Strategy
KF&Co does not limit itself to one particular stage of investing. Instead, we focus on opportunities where our expertise and guidance can make a difference. For example, we co-invest in growth companies as they build new products, expand into new markets, invest in new technology and improve profitability. We have also invested in seed-stage organizations with nothing more than an idea and the start of a team, but we have also invested alongside private equity groups in later stage strategies that include interim c-suite assistance, deep analytics and strategic planning, etc.
Investment Process
KF&Co invests its own capital in proprietary transactions and is engaged by private equity firms as a co-investor at different stages of the investment process. In some cases, we're involved early, including discussions of attractive sectors for deal sourcing or initial due diligence on actionable opportunities. In other cases, we're engaged later after private equity firms submit indications of interest or even close a deal and are in search independent directors with relevant expertise. We are committed, collaborative, team-oriented partners, who pride ourselves on being responsive to management teams and lead investors.
