An Intentional Investing Approach

At Collab, we are always looking for new ways to support the unique needs of the companies within our portfolio.
We work to understand every business deeply and show up with a playbook designed specifically for today's founders. Our founders.
We believe  one of our most vital roles as investors is supporting them in becoming growth-stage company CEOs. If we are helping them grow big businesses, it is in our best interest to make sure they can operate them.

This requires us to instill good practices like a regular reporting cadence, good cash flow management, strategic hiring and other smart fiscal decision-making. Since our inception, we have preached the merits of sustainable growth over growth at all costs.
