Like the entrepreneurs we back, we are nimble and highly attuned to industry conditions, making our partnership highly effective in today’s fast-moving markets.
Castile’s Approach
As industry veterans with extensive experience as entrepreneurs, investors and senior executives, we leverage our capital and our expertise to maximize each opportunity. Key tenets of our approach include:
Identify target market segments ‘Ahead of the Curve’: As early-stage investors, once a market opportunity is broadly known, the opportunity is lost. We pride ourselves on understanding deep market fundamentals and positioning our companies in markets as they are developing to maximize growth opportunities for years to come. We are highly effective leveraging these insights with entrepreneurs at the formative stages of creating a business.
Partner with ‘Best in Class’ companies: While many companies may exist in a given segment, only a small, select few rise to leadership positions and create outsized enterprise value. As such, we place significant emphasis on working with entrepreneurs who have a vision to win and dominate a given market.
Invest with Impact: We seek opportunities where we can leverage not only our capital but also our relationships and expertise to create significant competitive advantage. Great chemistry with our entrepreneurs is critical to maximize our value-add and leadership at the syndicate and board levels.
