Founder

Nick Sposa background: A former buy side analyst who's worked across several South Florida-based hedge funds. These funds ranged in AUM of between $40M-$500M at their peak, emphasizing a concentrated approach to value investing and shareholder activism. Mr. Sposa has spent most of his career as a generalist, where he invested tens of millions of LP dollars across industries such as: consumer, transportation, retail, logistics, restaurant, and internet stocks. Additionally, he has worked alongside boards to propose and implement proper capital allocation strategies within the C-suite of small-cap, publicly listed companies, as well as investing alongside owner-operators to participate in significant value realization. Outside of public equities, he has led the disposition of a $20M Florida-based distressed real estate portfolio, $8M of New Jersey commercial real estate, and is currently in the latter rounds of facilitating the nine figure sale of a dominant, privately held nutraceuticals business. He resides in South Florida with his wife Ava, two cats, with a baby on the way.
