Public Equity
The Kestrel Flight Fund
Through our Kestrel Flight Fund, we sponsor companies going through transition. Our public venture approach is unique and seeks superior returns through long term partnerships. We focus on four pivot points where we see compelling value creation. We call them PUMAs.
Tracking PUMAs
Product Cycles
New products and increasing backlog can act as a catalyst to drive revenue growth and stock appreciation.
Uplistings
Uplisting from the OTC or a non-US exchange to the Nasdaq or NYSE can be a catalyst for increased liquidity and awareness.
Management Changes
A new management team can revitalize a company and drive growth and innovation.
Acquisitions
Accretive acquisitions can provide meaningful inorganic growth that complements organic business lines.
