We don’t just invest. We build, own, and operate — for the long term.

01

Build

We start companies from zero — products, brands, teams, and cash flow. We build the whole thing.

02

Own

We hold for the long term. Permanent capital, patient horizon — no fund clock, no forced exits.

03

Operate

We run what we own. Operators, not allocators — close to the customer and close to the cash flow.

The Portfolio

One family of companies. Always growing.

The Operator

Christopher McGinnis

Founder & Principal · MCG

Chris started working at ten — professionally as an actor and musician — and launched his first company in 2017. A decade later, that drive has grown into an ever-evolving family of companies across multiple sectors — held under MCG and built to keep growing.

He still operates every day: close to the product, the team, and the customer.

The Journey

A unique story, still being written.

From a kid on stage to an ever-growing family of companies — the milestones that shaped the operator. Select any year to see it up close.
