Whether you manage the capital or run the business, _nclude is structured to meet you where the work actually happens.
Fund I and Fund II managers face a structural challenge: LPs expect a demonstrated value creation capability, but building a full in-house operating team is expensive and premature at early fund sizes.
_nclude Capital extends your investment team with integrated operating and buy-side M&A expertise, giving you the capacity to win competitive deals, execute value creation plans, and report credibly to LPs, without the overhead of a permanent operating group.
The 100-day plan looks good on paper, but the portfolio company lacks the bandwidth and internal expertise to execute it. Progress slows and momentum is lost.
Investment teams rely on periodic management reports rather than real-time KPI visibility, making it hard to spot problems early or make proactive adjustments.
Add-on targets are screened financially but the operational due diligence is thin. Integration capacity and cultural fit are underweighted until it's too late.
Each portfolio company is managed differently. LPs see inconsistent reporting and can't identify a repeatable operating model, which makes the fund harder to differentiate.
We translate your investment thesis into a prioritized operating plan with clear milestones, owners, and LP-ready reporting. From the first 100 days through exit, the plan stays live and accountable.
We embed alongside portfolio company management to build the KPIs, processes, and accountability structures that create scalable, predictable performance, without adding permanent headcount.
We support platform builds and add-on strategies with operational diligence, integration planning, and deal execution, bringing the operating perspective that purely financial advisors miss.
We join the diligence process to assess operational quality, leadership capacity, and value creation potential, strengthening the investment thesis before close.
We build the post-close value creation plan alongside the investment team, identifying quick wins and longer-horizon priorities with clear accountability structures.
We remain embedded with portfolio companies through the hold period, tracking KPIs, executing initiatives, and providing regular reporting to the investment team and board.
We prepare companies for premium exits: improving operational metrics, sharpening the equity story, managing the data room, and maximizing enterprise value at close.

_nclude Capital works alongside leadership teams to build that foundation. We improve operational performance, reduce organizational risk, and help you evaluate the growth paths that fit your situation, whether that means growing organically, acquiring, or preparing for a future transaction.
When the founder or CEO is the decision point for everything, the business can't scale and becomes less attractive to investors or acquirers who are buying a company, not a person.
Leadership is managing by instinct rather than data. There is no reliable view of what is working, what isn't, or what the business will look like in 90 days.
PE can feel opaque or intimidating, especially for first-time sellers or companies taking on outside capital. What does a PE relationship actually look like? What are the real trade-offs?
Organic growth has limits. Acquisitions seem attractive but complex. Leadership needs a clear-eyed view of what is realistic and what infrastructure is required to support either path.
We work inside your business to improve how it runs: building KPIs, streamlining processes, clarifying accountability, and creating the reporting infrastructure that supports confident decision-making.
We build a realistic, prioritized plan for improving the business, whether you are preparing for outside investment, a sale, or simply want to grow with more discipline and less chaos.
We help leadership teams evaluate organic and inorganic growth options with clear eyes: what is realistic, what it requires operationally, and how to pursue it without overextending the business.
We start by listening. No pitch deck, no template. We want to understand where the business is, what leadership is trying to accomplish, and what is actually getting in the way.
We assess the current state of operations, financials, leadership, and growth options, identifying the highest-priority areas for improvement and the most realistic paths forward.
We build one plan across operations and growth strategy, with clear milestones and owners. Not a report that sits on a shelf, but a working document that drives weekly decisions.
We work alongside your team to implement, track progress, and adapt as the business evolves. The goal is to reduce the burden on leadership, not add to it.
Tell us about your business and where you want to take it. We'll start with a direct, no-pressure conversation about what is realistic and what support looks like.
