We provide investment and advisory services to early and development stage companies and select turn-arounds and reorg/ecapitalizations.  We offer hands-on operational, business and corporate development (including M&A), strategic planning, product management and development support to stabilize or scale operations and help accelerate growth. We focus primarily on Internet, mobile, technology, communications, media, retail and related industries, but also have a broad capability, expertise and experience in residential and commercial construction and development as well as real estate portfolio and property management.

We currently work with leading edge media and technology companies disrupting the fields of entertainment, fitness and financial services.

We have recently led diligence processes for a variety of early-stage investments.

In 1996-1997, we led a group that sought control of Marvel Entertainment in its bankruptcy against other parties vying for control including Carl Icahn and Ron Perelman as well as the leaders of a former Marvel subsidiary, Avi Arad & Ike Perlmutter (ToyBiz), who finally won the process.

From 2002 through 2009, we helped create and operate a multi-million dollar e-commerce media (books, music, videos) retailer which operated 4 of the 5 largest branded storefronts on Amazon, Ebay and Half.com as well as branded retail sites.

We also evaluated and negotiated a turn-around for KB Toys/eToys.com during their 2008-2009 bankruptcy and, later, assessed CircuitCity as a turn-around candidate during its 2008-2009 bankruptcy.
