Fund: Gold Standard Partners
Embracing the rigorous and occasionally absurd; Gold Standard Partners prides itself on maintaining a single-digit number of portfolio companies… and a whopping one office dog.
We understand that the financial world’s relentless quest for scale can feel reminiscent of an overeager gold prospector with a sieve and a dream; but we prefer to pan for value, not gold. We carefully sift through opportunities, our diligence as meticulous as a Swiss watch, except instead of keeping time, it’s ticking away at the efficiency of your balance sheet.
Our amortizing tranche is more elastic than a Cirque du Soleil performer; bending but never breaking its commitment to returns. Our pref, for those versed in finance jargon, is as firm as a British banker’s resolve – except ours can be toggled with a PIK, should the market mood take an unexpected turn.
Yet we’re not all numbers and ratios here at Gold Standard Partners. We also appreciate the art of the deal; the drama, the dance between myth and math. Once, we even conducted due diligence in a boardroom bathed in candlelight, under the watchful gaze of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (not the real one, alas).
In this world where ‘capital efficiency’ is tossed around like confetti at a wedding, we take it seriously; not as a buzzword, but as a philosophy. After all, we believe that every dollar invested should be as thrifty as a Scrooge McDuck diving into his vault of gold coins.
Welcome to Gold Standard Partners, where numbers dance with art and deals are crafted with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker… or perhaps a well-rehearsed troupe of acrobats.
