RFO Capital partners with founders to accelerate growth, expand into new markets, and raise the capital that fuels what comes next. Thirty years of operating and investing experience — put to work for the companies we believe in.
Focused engagements with founders and executive teams who are ready to move from ambition to execution.
Sharpen positioning, build the go-to-market motion, and unlock the levers that turn early traction into durable growth.
Enter new categories, channels, and geographies with a plan that matches the brand — retail, foodservice, DTC, and beyond.
Stage the story, model the ask, and open the right doors — from seed through growth rounds, strategic capital, and beyond.
I've spent thirty years starting, scaling, and advising companies across the food space — from kitchen-table beginnings to national brands. RFO Capital is where that experience meets today's founders.
My work is hands-on and honest. I help teams tighten their strategy, enter new markets with intention, and raise capital on their terms. When the fit is right, I invest alongside — in food brands and in the occasional consumer product where I can add real value.
The best decisions get made by operators who've been there. That's what I bring.
A small number of companies at any time — so the attention is real, not fractional.
Every recommendation traces back to what actually happens on the floor, in the store, with the customer.
Selective investments in brands and products where the advisory work is already moving the needle.
Great food brands aren't built in a quarter. The relationships and the strategy are set up for the long build.
Tell me a bit about your company and where you're headed. I read every note.
