Who we partner with

Focusing on being a long‑term, constructive partner — working side by side with founders and corporates

We believe the most successful partnerships are built on collaboration and shared ambition. With more than twenty‑five years of experience creating award‑winning B2B event platforms, we combine investment, industry insight, and hands‑on operator expertise to help businesses scale and thrive.

• Founders and owner–managers of B2B event and media businesses seeking a strategic partner to unlock the next stage of growth or realise value.

• Corporate owners looking to divest non–core B2B event assets to a specialist that understands their strategic and stakeholder context.

• Under–invested or non–core assets that would benefit from specialist ownership and hands–on operational support.

We work with entrepreneurs launching new events in a market where capital is harder than ever to secure, as well as established corporates seeking to offload non‑core assets. Our mission is to turn promising ideas into data‑driven, high‑growth platforms that become central to their industries.

What we do

We invest in B2B publications, conferences and trade shows that act as high-value industry marketplaces.

These businesses bring buyers, sellers and influencers together to transact, partner and learn, creating must-attend moments with strong commercial value. We target assets with recurring revenue, loyal communities and clear potential to become essential annual events, using data, origination and operator networks to acquire and scale them globally.

• Acquisition

  of B2B publications, conferences, exhibitions and trade shows with room to grow regionally or globally.

• Growth Investment

  into B2B media platforms where events, content and data combine to form high–value, recurring revenue models.

• Launch and Scale

  of new event brands where our operator experience and contact networks create a fast start.

What we look for

• Clear leadership within a defined vertical, region or functional niche market segment
• Strong, repeat attendance from senior decision–makers and budget holders
• High sponsor and exhibitor retention, underpinned by demonstrable commercial outcomes
• Potential to layer on digital, membership, intelligence and year–round engagement
