How to approach funds like Latour Capital
When engaging Latour Capital, founders should highlight their company’s potential for operational improvement and scalability, especially if there is a clear path to value creation through strategic repositioning or carve-outs. Demonstrating a robust management team with a track record of navigating complex transitions or growth phases will resonate, as will a clear articulation of how the business can benefit from hands-on, partnership-driven support. Emphasize readiness for collaborative, long-term value building rather than short-term gains.
