Capital and judgment are brought to ventures that meet the same eye.
Maine works alongside a small number of founders and proprietors — as a strategic partner, an advisor, and, selectively, as an investor.

How this works
Three ways in, one standard.
CAPITAL
As an Investor
Open to selective personal investment in ventures aligned with Modern Acquisitions — luxury, hospitality, and consumer businesses built on taste and enduring value rather than speed.
INVOLVMENT
As a Strategic Partner
A board seat or ongoing strategic role in exchange for equity rather than a fee — for founders who want a standing, invested perspective rather than a one-time engagement.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Limited Advisory
For founders whose situation calls for counsel rather than capital or a standing role, Maine takes on a small number of advisory engagements each season — direct counsel, not mentorship or a recurring coaching relationship.
What Maine Looks for
A Short Set of Criteria
-
Operating ventures with sound fundamentals. Not pre-launch ideas or early-stage bets.
-
Proprietor-driven businesses, not corporate or committee-run.
-
Built with discernment and intention, not rapid growth-at-all-costs.
-
Aligned with Modern Acquisitions — businesses shaped by taste, identity, and acquisition.
-
Primarily Philippine ventures, open to Southeast Asia and Europe.
-
Long-term orientation, not rapid, exit-driven growth.

“I look for ventures already built with intention. Not projects to fix, but rooms worth entering.”
