OUR APPROACH
Slate's approach is to acquire/invest in one or two new companies per year and focus on their success, rather than striving for a larger volume of deals and a “portfolio” return. The Slate professionals are deeply involved with our portfolio companies – this involvement can range from a full-time management position to being an active board member. Each Slate principal has previously served as CEO of a Slate portfolio company.
The Slate principals invest their own capital alongside their investors, who are mostly wealthy individuals. As such, our capital is patient, and we are comfortable with much longer holding periods than typical private equity funds.
