The best operators don't want more networking. They want more context, more speed, and better company. We co-build, acquire, and capital-stack alongside them — every venture plugs into a nationwide MSP/VAR channel on day one.
We don't run a venture studio. We don't run a fund. We don't run a rollup. We run a holding company with three coordinated legs — each reinforcing the others, each producing cashflow or equity for the holdco.
We co-found 1–2 new ventures per year with operators who have domain expertise but no distribution, capital, or org muscle. We bring channel, structure, and capital. You bring the product and the will. We split equity 30–40% and stay in through scale.
For founders →We acquire profitable, AI-upgradeable B2B services businesses in a single vertical, install our operating system, and recycle EBITDA into the next acquisition. Buy at 3–4× EBITDA. Compound toward 10–20× comps.
For sellers →When the opportunity is real but isn't ours to operate, we bring our LP network in alongside us — and stay involved as advisors. No fund. No fees. Just operators capitalizing operators.
For capital →Most studios bring capital. Most rollups bring spreadsheets. We bring channel.
Every venture and acquisition inside CCE plugs into a nationwide MSP/VAR/reseller network — relationships built across years of going to market with channel partners for the companies we've operated inside of. That distribution took years to assemble and cannot be replicated by a Series A studio in 18 months. It's the difference between hitting $500K ARR in year one and burning $3M trying.
We don't build foundation models. We don't sell horizontal AI tools. We embed AI inside the unsexy, profitable, channel-sold B2B businesses that run the real economy — and we capture the margin lift.
The team behind CCE has spent the last decade as the GTM and channel-building operators inside companies founders built — joining an early-stage solar company at first traction and helping scale revenue from $10M to $30M, then joining an AI-native cybersecurity company as one of its first five and building the nationwide MSP channel from zero. We're not first-time founders. We're the GTM operators founders bring in to actually sell the thing. CCE is the structural version of that role.
Our portfolio doesn't burn. Our acquisitions are seller-financed and SBA-leveraged. We're not playing the dilution game. We're playing the compounding game.
The market has decided AI is the wave. But almost all of that money is chasing horizontal foundation models and frontier infrastructure. Almost none of it is being deployed at the level where AI margins are actually realized: inside the channel-sold, mid-market services businesses that run the real economy.
The HVAC company doing $4M doesn't need its own LLM — it needs an AI-driven dispatch layer that lifts gross margins from 18% to 30%. The 12-seat MSP doesn't need a frontier model — it needs an AI-native security stack that lets it sell upmarket. The accounting firm doesn't need agentic AGI — it needs document automation that turns one bookkeeper into three.
We buy, build, and back the companies that deliver those margins. Then we compound them.
We disclose what we can. Some operate in stealth until close.
