independent by design
Macoto Collective is a group of veteran investors and operators with experience creating, scaling, and exiting companies—from ideas to incumbents—in the private markets.
We are an independent firm built for the AI era. Our model is to work with exceptional leaders as peers, augmenting their domain knowledge and execution abilities with capital, technology, and governance expertise.
WHAT WE DO
The vast growth of private capital creates incredible opportunity for the best entrepreneurs. And yet, most still cede the value of their hard work to institutional investors using the same old playbooks and tools.
There’s a better way. Today, we do three things:
Management-Led Recapitalizations. Control acquisitions where we act as independent sponsor, partnering with management to build long-term value.
Incubation & Acceleration. Early-stage investments where we chair the board and help founders navigate the path to scale.
Independent Directorship. Hands-on advisory work with leadership teams preparing for growth, strategic inflection points, or future capital raises.
