We help investors acquire, restructure and run exceptional businesses.
Managing Ventures sources, diligences, negotiates and operates controlling acquisitions on behalf of investors — across mining and industrial sectors, business services, technology, and beyond.
A dedicated partner for investors who want ownership, not another portfolio line item.
Most investors can write a cheque. Few have the time, deal experience, or operating bandwidth to find a business worth owning, run diligence properly, negotiate the right structure, and then actually make the business better once the deal closes.
That’s the work we do. We act as your dedicated deal and operations team — sourcing opportunities, leading due diligence, structuring the acquisition around your goals, and staying on to restructure, systematise, and grow the business post-close, in exchange for fees and an equity stake in the outcome.
Four disciplines, one mandate.
Origination & Diligence
We identify acquisition targets against your criteria, then run commercial, financial and operational diligence before a term is ever agreed.
Deal Structuring
We negotiate price and terms and help design the acquisition structure — financing, rollover equity, and governance — around a control position.
Operational Integration
Post-close, we step into the business to rebuild systems, tighten operations, and implement automation where it removes cost or risk.
Growth & Exit Readiness
We manage the business toward its next milestone — whether that’s stable cash flow, a follow-on acquisition, or a future exit.
We specialise where operations are complex and ownership is scarce.
Our focus sits in industries with real assets, defensible operations, and owners approaching a transition — sectors where hands-on management, not financial engineering, is what creates value.
Mining & Metals
Extraction, processing, and mid-stream metals operations with durable reserves or contracts.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Established producers and fabricators with recurring commercial or contract-based demand.
Energy & Natural Resources
Traditional and transitional energy infrastructure, services, and supporting operations.
Business & Professional Services
Essential B2B service providers with sticky client relationships and repeatable delivery.
Software & Technology
Profitable, founder-led software and tech-enabled service businesses ready to professionalise.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Care providers, clinical services, and life-sciences suppliers with regulatory moats.
One investor. One mandate. One business.
Every engagement is a dedicated acquisition mandate for a single investor working toward a controlling position — not a shared pipeline pitched across a list. It keeps our incentives, and the deal, aligned with you alone.
Deal Profile
Established, cash-generating businesses — typically $1M–$10M EBITDA, with contract-based or recurring revenue.
Our Role
We source, diligence, negotiate and, post-close, operate — either alongside existing management or in a direct leadership capacity.
Ownership Outcome
The investor (or a vehicle they control) holds the controlling equity position. We are not arranging a passive investment.
Our Compensation
A structuring fee, an ongoing operating arrangement, and a minority equity carry tied to the business we build together.
The team behind the mandates.
Experience across capital, operations and exits.
