Funding
Capital, Competence & Industry Depth
We combine funding with real operational insight and sector expertise to help founders scale with confidence.
How You Benefit
Why work with us?
In a world full of capital but short on alignment, OPERATORS focuses where we can truly add value.
Focus industries
We invest in a few adjacent areas we know deeply - maritime, supply chain, energy, and ocean.
Smart syndication
Competent angels invest where they understand the problem and can actively contribute.
Collaborative investing
We co-invest alongside other funds, complementing, not replacing, existing investors.
Dual impact
We back solutions with clear financial value to customers and a positive impact on the planet.
Selective focus
We don’t spray and pray - we back a few standout companies each year where we can make a real difference.
Value beyond capital
Our network accelerates scaling and enhances chances by potentially leveraging an OPERATOR Board and board talent.
