Strengthen Your Investees Without Becoming Their Operator.
Many of the companies you back in Hong Kong and Greater China need senior operators as much as capital. Our executive search finds, vets and introduces those executives from a collective of 800+, and keeps governance around each engagement.
For investors, the real risk is how the leadership gap gets filled, not the gap itself.
Venture investors and family offices in Hong Kong often face the same tension:
You can see the gap clearly
You understand what type of leadership would fix it. But you don't have a reliable, high-quality source you trust enough to refer.
Referring wrong is worse than doing nothing
It costs time, money, and founder trust. Your reputation with the portfolio company is at stake.
You do not want to carry management risk
Being seen as directing the company beyond your governance role creates complications.
The governance boundary
You want to add value beyond capital, but need to respect the line between governance and management.
Ours is executive search with a curated collective and governance built in, not a directory of freelancers. An introduction to us is an introduction to a process.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
What portfolio companies get from our search
A careful search partner that protects your standing with founders and families across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
Matched to the company
Chosen for stage, sector and working style as well as skill, so founders and family owners meet people they can work with.
Governance that stays
We stay involved after the match. Where a new gap opens, we brief the next search from our existing knowledge of the company.
A collective behind each executive
A portfolio company's CFO can check a technology investment with a CTO in our collective before it reaches the board.
Continuity, handled
Every brief is kept up to date. If an executive leaves an investee company, the transition and the new search are handled by us.
Sensitive to family ownership
Where a family office holds operating businesses, we bring in professional leadership with clear scope and respect for the family's role and pace.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
