A modern operating company · est. patient capital
delacroix holds and advises businesses for the long term — pairing patient capital with hands-on operating counsel. One roof, two disciplines, a single standard of care.
The companies under the house
Each practice runs on its own mandate and people, but shares delacroix's temperament: patient, exact, and accountable to results that compound over years rather than quarters.
Patient capital, quietly compounded. We acquire and hold durable operating companies, backing management for the long arc instead of the quick turn.
The operating counsel behind the capital — available to portfolio companies and external clients alike. Strategy that ships, not slideware.
How we work
The same disciplined arc whether we are deploying capital or deploying counsel — diagnose honestly, commit fully, and stay through the compounding.
We start with the numbers and the people. NAV, IRR, MOIC and unit economics on one side; the operators and the moat on the other.
Capital or counsel, we commit fully and align incentives. No forced timelines, no exits manufactured to fit a fund's calendar.
We remain hands-on — allocating capital, sharpening operations, and letting good businesses do what they do, quietly, for years.
What holds the house together
Lime is the signal — one bold move per view. Everything else is structure and patience. The way we build the brand is the way we run the businesses.
We own to keep. Permanent capital frees management to make the right decade-long call instead of the right quarterly one.
Advisory and capital share a bench. The people who underwrite a business can help run it — and often do.
Tabular figures, honest reporting, no theatre. We measure what compounds and say plainly where we stand.
"Patient capital, quietly compounded — a house built to keep the companies inside it."
