Investment thesis
Growth-phase business — story-led; valuation sensitive to momentum.
Why interesting: Trading is scaling; acquirers paying for trajectory get disproportionate leverage.
Why risky: Price often leads fundamentals; dependency on founder often high.

Owner dependency
66/100

- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 60 — approaching natural succession window.

SIGNALS
