Our Mission Is To Acquire, Operate and Grow One Great Business
Snipe Island Capital brings experienced leadership, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a passion for growing small businesses
Acquire and Lead For the Long Term
We are operators at heart and have led great teams across large and small businesses. Across roles at Google, as a leader on political campaigns, and as a Chief Revenue Officer, I have managed high performing teams, built culture that scales, and instilled the operational rigor needed to grow businesses.
My vision is to operate a single business for the long term. I founded Snipe Island Capital to provide an owner seeking to transition their business with experienced operational management, an entrepreneurial mindset, world class investment partners, and a long-term growth philosophy.

Experienced Management
Our team has held leadership and management positions across a wide variety of complex and start-up organizations leading teams from 5 people in size, up to an organization of 100+. Our investor team consists of industry leading experts in operating small to medium sized businesses.
Focus on Long Term Growth
We are focused on driving sustainable growth. Our incentives are to maximize long-term value. We believe that long term growth is achieved through employing and growing great people.
Flexibility
Every business owner has priorities in their transition. We spend time getting to know the needs of the business and the needs of the owner. We are eager to structure a transition plan that works for them. There is no one size fits all approach.
Go-to-market Expertise
Our team has deep experience building, leading, and operating revenue teams in companies of all sizes. We believe that professionalizing and scaling go-to-market operations can be a powerful catalyst for accelerating growth.
The right business has a few key attributes
Healthy and stable with operating cash flow over $1 million and a strong degree of recurring revenue.
The right management at the right time. A private owner looking to transition 70% equity in the business where go-to-market expertise and management rigor can accelerate growth.
A business with tailwinds. We come from a background in operating software businesses and remain excited about vertical SaaS, business-to-business services, or tech-enabled services in a growing vertical.
