On this episode
Allen Mask, Partner at Westcap and Head of CŨLab, shares how the firm leverages an "operating equity" model to go beyond capital to drive real value creation in marketplace businesses.
Learn how to structure an operating team that founders want to work with and how pairing operators with investors during diligence surfaces risks that financials alone won't reveal. Plus, hear how to approach the first 100 days, when to bring in outside partners, the economics of a large operating team work, and why reinvesting management fees back into the firm is central to WestCapā€™s model.
