“The YBUK Way”

Two generations. One mindset.

YBUK brings together two generations of investment experience, informed by decades spent analyzing businesses, industries, management teams, successes, and failures. We invest our own capital and look to partner with experienced operators pursuing their next chapter.

We are looking for…

Proven operators with skin in the game

We back successful industry participants pursuing adjacent opportunities where their experience creates an advantage. We invest our own capital and value meaningful alignment among founders, operators, and investment partners.

Durable businesses built to endure

Recurring or highly repeatable revenue, attractive unit economics, and limited ongoing capital requirements. We favor defensible positions that are difficult to replicate, disintermediate, or disrupt.

Growing end markets

Businesses positioned within industries benefiting from durable, long-term demand.

Disciplined valuation

We seek opportunities at valuations that provide an attractive balance of risk and return, with a clear path to meaningful upside as the business executes and grows.

More than capital

We aim to be an engaged investment partner, contributing our experience, network, and perspective where they can help create value.
