We start at the root.

Most investors look at surface-level metrics. We go deeper. First Principls is a management and investment firm that helps companies rewire how things work—from their capital structure to their factory floor.

We work alongside the principals of each business—the people doing the real work. And we bring a first principles mindset to every challenge, breaking down complexity to reconstruct better systems.

Our mission is to compound long-term value by aligning leadership, technology, and operations around what truly matters. Not what’s convenient.

We Acquire

We acquire and scale overlooked manufacturing and industrial businesses.

We Enable

We invest in teams that enable strategic capabilities in defense, energy, logistics, and materials.

We Embed

We serve as embedded advisors, working side by side with founders and technical teams to unlock exponential value.

We go back to first principles. Then forward with principled leadership.
