Our Approach
A active, creative and flexible method of growth investing
At Bravo Mondo, financing transactions in a sensible and prudent manner is our Modus Operandi.
We consider the capital requirements necessary to meet the company's growth and expansion plans while allowing for a comfortable operating cushion to accommodate fluctuations in company performance. Our investments take a variety of forms, from control private equity investments to management-backed recapitalizations and industry consolidations. Our goal is to invest in companies with an enterprise value in the range of $10M to $50M.
At Bravo Mondo, we pride ourselves on the strong operational experience and track record of the founding partners. As operators that have founded, run and successfully exited many businesses over the last decade, we feel our experience gives us a strong competitive differentiator from many funds our size. Being collaborative partners with management teams is core to our investment strategy. To these partnerships we bring domain expertise in areas of strategic importance: brand building, nontraditional marketing, recruiting, operations, distribution, content strategies, and financing.
Operational Excellence
Alongside this, Bravo Mondo delivers a network of key developement partners to broaden distribution, marketing and monetization into new revenue opportunities, distribution and refined strategies, as well as the transactional experience to maximize value upon exit.
We believe we can achieve significant value creation by combining strong management, strategic advice and global C-suite access with disciplined business planning. We believe that the motivations of an equity partner must be in line with those of the management team and vice versa.
Aligned Motivation
As operators we recognize that a mature, qualified management team is critical to the success of our investments and will work with our companies to bolster and build out these teams. We believe in providing management teams with considerable incentives, including the opportunity to significantly participate in equity ownership. We seek to invest in established companies which are positioned to benefit from changing and disruptive market dynamics that can lead to new growth opportunities.
Strong Management
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new”
–Socrates
The growth we seek can be driven by favorable sector trends, disruptive business models and products or services and platform companies within fragmented industries where consolidation can lead to significant cost or competitive advantages.
In addition to favorable market dynamics, we also seek opportunities where significant growth potential is unrecognized or untapped due to limited capital or operational resources, lack of proper incentives, or the current owner’s insufficient risk tolerance to pursue an opportunity. Corporate divestitures or entrepreneurially-managed businesses frequently benefit from our financial, strategic, and managerial expertise and experience.
