Since 2003, we have been active investors in growing and profitable businesses. Our team, led by Ken Fox and Dan Marriott, offers a unique combination of investment, operating and entrepreneurial expertise — Ken was the co-founder of Internet Capital Group and Dan served in a number of positions at IAC. Our Operating Partners, who act as advisors and board members, have experience building out sales, logistics and marketing operations across a range of successful companies, including EMC Corporation, Amazon, Activision and Red Hat.

As active investors, we partner with management to achieve sustainable and accelerated growth. In short, we utilize the operating resources within the Stripes network to help management identify talent, drive add-on M&A opportunities and execute their strategic plan.
