How It Works
A structured approach to operator–capital partnerships
The Partnership Model
Skills & Capital operates as a partnership layer that connects execution-focused operators with aligned capital. We facilitate the formation of partnerships designed for long-term value creation through clear governance and shared incentives.
Screening
Both operators and capital providers go through a structured screening process. We assess track record, capabilities, thesis alignment, and cultural fit.
Diligence
Mutual diligence ensures both parties understand expectations, risks, and opportunities. We facilitate introductions and information exchange.
Structuring
We help design partnership structures that align incentives—economics, governance, decision rights, and exit provisions.
Governance
Ongoing governance cadence includes regular reporting, milestone reviews, and structured communication to maintain alignment.
Typical Engagement Structures
The following are illustrative examples only. Actual structures depend on opportunity, jurisdiction, and regulatory requirements. No legal or investment advice is provided.
Revenue Share
Operator receives capital to build or scale a revenue-generating project. Returns are split based on agreed percentages until targets are met.
Cashflow-focused projects, service businesses, recurring revenue models
Equity Co-Build
Operator and capital form a new entity together. Equity is allocated based on contributions (capital, sweat, IP) with vesting and governance provisions.
New ventures, technology builds, long-term asset creation
SPV / Project Company
A special purpose vehicle is created for a specific opportunity. Multiple capital partners may participate with the operator managing execution.
Real assets, infrastructure, defined-scope projects
