What we do

Operators first. Investors second.

We don’t write cheques from a distance. Every venture in the group was started or run by people who have cleared the customs entry, priced the lane and taken the late-night call from a client.

  1. 01

    Build

    We start new ventures where a service is broken: affordable cross-border shipping, accountable trucking, predictable customs clearance.

  2. 02

    Operate

    Group leadership stays hands-on through launch and scale: network partners, facilities, technology and hiring.

  3. 03

    Back & exit

    We partner with operators in adjacent markets, and take ventures to a clean exit when a better long-term owner emerges.

Leadership

Aaron Michael

Managing Partner, AB Holdings

“If everything is a scale of 10, life is 4, but I like 10. So should everyone else.”

Aaron moved from consulting into building companies. The first venture, Aersure, made cross-border e-commerce shipping affordable for businesses of any size, and every venture in the group has grown out of that operating experience.
