Value with Values

We believe that it's not only about the result, it's also about how you get there.

Our Values

Each value stands alone, but they are more powerful together.

We believe trust is built over time and forms the foundation from which everything else flows. Trust—in both ethics and intentions—has guided the way we built our team, and the way we select and work with our partner companies.
We listen more than we speak, because we believe great ideas can come from anywhere. We take our work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
We are a results-oriented team with a strong bias towards action, yet the way we work together to get there—internally and with partner companies—matters as much as the end result. Partnering with founders, CEOs, and teams is the highlight of our work, and we’re determined to help where we can, and get out of the way when you’ve got it handled.
You will always know where we stand. We’re open about our approach and how we make decisions, and we believe that direct, honest communication is the only way to collaborate. Whether good news or bad, we are honest with one another and focused on the solution.
We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards, and we also know that life is too short to not work with good people. We believe in building true relationships—across our team, our partner companies, our service providers, and our industry.

Our Approach

Every voice counts.

We share similar values and skill sets but bring different perspectives to the table.

We invest in businesses that share our commitment to diversity, and we support our partner companies as they strive to keep doing better.

Diverse decision makers build thriving companies.

Leadership

We work alongside our partner companies to fill the room—and the board table—with a range of smart, aligned people who bring unique perspectives.
Mentorship

Professional development is one of the best ways to break the cycle of privilege, so we devote significant time and resources to supporting every team member’s growth.
Equity

We work side by side, and we live by equal voice. We believe that everyone should challenge ideas, assert new ones, and strive to push all of us to show up better than we were yesterday.

Our Impact

Environmental, Social and Governance

At Knox Lane, we know that people are our most important asset and a key element of our success. That is why we strive to create a culture of inclusion and diversity. We understand the importance of, and value in, having a diverse workforce to bring different perspectives and experiences to the table and help us make better investment and operational decisions.

We are a signatory of the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) Diversity in Action Initiative, which works to encourage market participants to increase diversity and inclusion and to adopt specific DE&I actions. We are also a member of the National Association of Investment Companies Diverse Asset Managers Program, the largest industry association for diverse-owned alternative investment firms.
