Capital
Minority growth capital for the next stage.
Approach
Operator-minded capital for consumer growth
We partner with founders to provide capital, strategic guidance, and hands-on operational support rooted in real founder experience.
Where we invest
Consumer businesses ready to grow
We invest in high-growth, capital-efficient consumer products and services. We look for strong margins and unit economics, and a bootstrapped business or history of capital efficiency.

Why Cutting Horse
We've been in the founder seat
We understand that business is more than spreadsheets and PowerPoints. It's about people, process, and grit.
We work closely with a concentrated group of companies. Every company matters.
