Making majority investments in resilient and profitable services businesses
The Foundation Strategy
The Foundation Strategy is Higher Order Capital's flagship investment platform, designed to acquire majority stakes in resilient businesses and guide their transformation into tech-enabled market leaders. We focus on companies in Phase 2 of our S2S (Services-to-Software) Assessment, where systematic automation can accelerate the journey from services to software.
Investment Strategy
Our Venture Equity Strategy combines institutional private equity's rigor with systematic automation capabilities. We target majority control investments in companies with revenues between $20-150M and established profitability with 20%+ EBITDA margins. The ideal Foundation Strategy partner demonstrates clear potential for automation adoption and recurring revenue development, led by management teams committed to transformation.
Value Creation Process
- Pre-Transaction Alignment
We collaborate with management teams pre-acquisition to develop transformation playbooks and ensure strategic alignment. This preparation phase establishes clear objectives and positions the business for successful multiple expansion and value creation. - Higher Order Modernization Plan
Following acquisition, we implement a six-month intensive modernization plan. This systematic approach focuses on embedding automation to streamline operations, building recurring software revenue streams, and optimizing organizational structure. Our proven playbooks ensure efficient execution while maintaining operational stability. - Systematic Implementation
Through Higher Order Command (Command), our transformation consulting, we provide hands-on support to drive transformation. Our embedded operating partners work alongside management teams to implement automation playbooks and accelerate value creation. This partnership ensures successful execution while preserving the domain expertise that made these businesses successful.
Creating Sustainable Value
Our systematic approach delivers measurable results through enhanced scalability, improved margins, and multiple expansion. By embedding automation and building recurring software revenue streams, Foundation Strategy companies achieve sustainable competitive advantages in today's technology-driven markets.
Why Partner with the Foundation Strategy
Beyond capital, we bring a systematic approach to value creation that sets us apart. Our focus on Phase 2 companies allows us to implement proven automation playbooks at the optimal moment in a company's evolution. Through HOCG's implementation expertise and our deep operational experience, we help management teams navigate the critical transition from traditional services to technology-enabled operations. This combination of institutional investment discipline and practical automation deployment creates a powerful framework for sustainable growth.
