"It says a lot about a person who shoulders the burden of the less fortunate."
Lanclos, C
The Lanclos investment thesis involves a collaborative effort, partnering alongside a very exclusive network of seasoned and deeply funded co-investment partners. With available investment capital well into the billions of dollars, there is no company their network couldn't consider. Equally important, their operational background touches just about every industry imaginable, possessing the business acumen to address pinch points hindering owners from scaling.
With an open thesis that includes global companies of all sizes and operating in all industries, they maintain certain fundamental ideologies that they bring into every investment. First, they believe that every attempt should be made to retain the employees that made the company successful in the first place. They truly understand that the legacy started and built by an owner was supported by the people brought onboard, and those same individuals should be part of the future legacy of the company. Next, they are convinced that working with owners to implement mutually agreeable exit timelines helps maintain a strong bond of trust and loyalty moving forward. The idea of investors mandating conditions without ownership consideration, to them, is a thing of the past.
Finally, and most importantly, carrying forward Ninon's illustrious legacy of altruism is a vital element to every decision the Lanclos family considers regarding partnerships. In addition to supporting successful enterprises with a clear path to scale, they aggressively search for owners who are committed to the betterment of their communities. To them, anyone impacting the lives of others, whether on a small scale or a large one, is someone they want to support wholeheartedly. The Lanclos family feels incredibly blessed to be in the position that they are in and views altruism as a deep responsibility in playing a positive role in the lives of the less fortunate. Candidly, if Ninon was willing to risk her freedom for simply empowering others, then every effort will be made to continue her legacy.
