Capital alone does not transform a business. The executives who sit alongside management, drive operational improvement, and lead value creation are what separate good outcomes from exceptional ones. If that describes you, we want to talk.
This is not a board advisory role. Operating executives at Venture Equities are embedded in portfolio companies, working directly with management teams to execute against a value creation plan. The engagement is real, the accountability is real, and the upside is real.
Operating executives engage before we close. You help us evaluate the business operationally, identify risks and opportunities that financial analysis misses, and shape the value creation thesis we underwrite the deal around. Your industry knowledge is part of how we win deals.
Once we close, you are actively engaged with the portfolio company. That could mean serving as an interim functional leader, a direct advisor to the CEO, or a project lead on a specific initiative. The depth of engagement is calibrated to what the business needs and where your expertise adds the most value.
You participate in operating reviews, milestone tracking, and strategic decisions throughout the investment period. As a value creation driver, you have visibility into performance and a seat at the table on decisions that matter.
We structure operating executive compensation around performance. That typically includes a combination of deal-by-deal carry, equity co-investment rights, and engagement fees where appropriate. You win when the deal wins. That is the only alignment structure we believe in.
We are not looking for generalists or consultants. We are looking for operators who have been in the seat, driven real outcomes, and know how to build enterprise value from the inside.
C-suite or senior leadership experience with measurable EBITDA or revenue growth, experience through a full investment cycle, and a track record of building and retaining teams.
You know your industry from the inside. Particularly relevant: Specialty Manufacturing, B2B Business Services, Essential Healthcare, Environmental & Waste, and Technology-Enabled B2B.
You understand how PE-backed companies operate. Comfortable with operating reviews, value creation plans, and milestone-driven accountability. You do not need to learn what carry means.
You are energized by building things, not managing things. High ownership orientation, bias for action, comfortable in lean environments. Long-term value focus over short-term optics.
Relationships with founders, business owners, or intermediaries in your sector are additive. Ability to source proprietary deal flow is a meaningful differentiator.
You want to be compensated for results, not effort. Interested in carry and co-investment, comfortable with performance-based structure, aligned on 3 to 7 year hold periods.
We do not run a formal application process. We build relationships with operators over time and engage them on deals where there is genuine fit between their expertise and our portfolio company's needs.
Introduce YourselfWe start with a direct conversation about your background, sector expertise, and what you are looking for. No formal process, no lengthy questionnaire. We want to understand who you are and where you add the most value.
We stay in active dialogue. As we evaluate deals in your sector, we may bring you in for an early read on the business, an introduction to management, or a diligence conversation. This is how we get to know how you think before we put you in a portfolio company.
When a deal is the right fit, we bring you in formally. We agree on the scope of your engagement, the economics, and the value creation priorities before we close. No surprises about what the role looks like or what you will earn if the investment performs.
You are embedded. You work directly with the management team, participate in operating reviews, and drive the specific initiatives you own. At exit, your carry and co-investment participation reflects the value you helped create.
If you have the operating track record, the sector expertise, and the mindset to build enterprise value alongside a disciplined equity partner, we want to hear from you.
