Consulting and long-term value investing.
A private partnership of operators and investors, working across the United States and Asia.
Our approach
AKICA is a private partnership built on two disciplines: advisory work for operating companies, and long-term investment of our own capital.
We would rather own a few excellent companies for years than trade many for months.
Price discipline comes first. We act only when the odds and the entry price are clearly in our favor.
We stay within businesses we understand, and pass on everything else.
As advisors, we bring operating experience from technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors. We take on a small number of engagements where that experience gives a client a genuine edge.

Former Marketing & Sales Director, Global Pharma

Why AKICA
Four careers, one discipline. A designer shaping products used by billions. A physician running his own clinic. An operator behind a $3B advertising platform. A commercial leader from global pharma. Different fields, the same conviction: understand deeply, act rarely, hold long.
What we do
Focused engagements for founders and operating teams.
We invest proprietary capital in concentrated, long-term positions in businesses we understand.
We invest our own capital only. We do not manage outside capital, and nothing on this site is a solicitation or an offer of any kind.
