Chairman's Network

August Equity appoints an independent chairman to the board of each of its investments.

Each chairman is carefully chosen and appointed in consultation with the company’s management team. Potential chairmen are identified through a range of sources including regular networking events hosted by August Equity, advisor introductions, and existing relationships with the portfolio management team and investment team.

We remain in contact with potential candidates who will be invited to various events in order to network with the investment team and current chairmen of the portfolio companies.
