Feeling the midweek slump? Here's a little reminder for anyone doubting themselves: - Steven Spielberg was turned down by film school three times. - Henry Ford’s first two companies didn’t make it. - Elvis was told he should stick to truck driving after his first performance at the Grand Ole Opry. - Walt Disney was once told he lacked imagination. - Harry Potter was rejected by 12 publishers before the world ever knew the boy who lived. The road to success is rarely smooth, but every stumble is just part of the journey. Keep going – your breakthrough might be just around the corner! 💡 #motivation #entrepreneurship #keeppushing #success #Alderway
Alderway Partnership Capital
Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals
Empowering Exceptional Entrepreneurs by investing in Backbone Sector Businesses to bridge the Equity Gap
About us
Alderway is bridging the Equity Gap for brilliant businesses in often overlooked and underappreciated Backbone Sectors by providing the investment and support needed to unlock remarkable returns. We’re a team of experienced investors, entrepreneurs and operators who have been involved in growing many successful businesses, including the groundbreaking success of Vanarama - the only vehicle leasing company to achieve an exit to a FTSE 100 giant. This is how we know building a successful business can be challenging but also very rewarding. Our unique investing approach, Partnership Capital, ensures alignment of interests between us and the people we back. We not only provide financial investment but also offer support through our Value Creation Programme, empowering businesses to achieve their growth ambitions. We Empower not Impose. We take a significant shareholding in the business, ensuring we have 'skin in the game,' while working alongside entrepreneurs. Our investments range from £3m to £25m, providing enough capital to fuel growth plans. If appropriate, we can facilitate early liquidity for entrepreneurs, allowing them to de-risk, and focus on the mission rather than the mortgage while retaining a substantial stake for potential exit events. We invest only in businesses where our experience and guidance can accelerate growth. Our investment approach is Fundamentals Focused, emphasising profitability, cash generation, and a clean balance sheet. Our ideal partners are innovative, scalable, lower mid-market (£10m - £50m revenue) and businesses not limited to the SE & London. By focusing on these fundamentals and partnering with businesses in Backbone Sectors, we aim to drive sustainable growth and deliver remarkable returns for all.

This post from Timothy Armoo is spot on. Attracting and retaining top talent only happens if you're fostering a positive work environment. Realising that it's a team effort, not a solo mission will likely propel your success more than anything else. Do you agree?

Someone with half your IQ is making 10X more than you because they’re able to accept help from their team. Getting help doesn’t make you WEAK. Refusing to get help because of your ego does.
