We manage a pot of money on behalf of Cow Corner team members our friends and our clients. We invest it in knowledge-based businesses. To us that means IT, software, education and training, specialist business services and professional services.
Behind every new business is a founder. The relationships that we build with them are key to our success.
We are very lucky to have chosen to work in an environment with people we like, trust, and enjoy being with. That is also what we look for in our investments. Having an open, transparent, and trusting relationship with our founders, our CEOs and management teams allows alignment, and alignment always leads to better investment outcomes.
