FOCUS

Act III invests in emerging restaurant & entertainment companies in categories that have long-term consumer tailwinds, and where the opportunity exists to build the dominant brand in those categories


Act III exists to support strong management teams in building differentiated, strongly positioned businesses and to scale them nationally. Our competitive advantage lies in supporting our partners with capabilities and experience in addition to capital.

Founder-friendly capital

Evergreen Capital—we are a $1 billion+ investment vehicle funded entirely by our partners. We are compensated by investment returns and not management fees. As a result, we focus on long-term value creation and invest without need for liquidity.


Continuous Capital—when we support a company, we are prepared to meet all follow-on capital needs, allowing founders to focus on their business and not on follow-on fundraising.


No Exploding terms—no anti-dilutive or preferred terms ensures our incentives are aligned with our entrepreneurs and partners.
