Empowering founders and companies to make a significant impact on society through innovative and practical solutions, utilizing capital deployment and management consulting.
Innovation meets opportunity everyday.
In the early 2000s, two visionaries embarked on their entrepreneurial journey within the telecom industry. Immersed in a world-class environment, they honed their skills in sales, finance, brand management, customer service, and leadership. Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit, they began incubating ideas to tackle wireless waste and simplify the process for customers to switch mobile carriers. These discussions laid the foundation for their shared dream, which soon blossomed into their first startup.
With the support of friends, family, institutional investors, a private equity firm, and eventually their ultimate acquirer, a major telecom company, they tackled the challenge of wireless waste. Their journey was typical of any venture, with highs and lows, triumphs and setbacks, forging relationships, and testing bonds. However, their innovation and intellectual property led to a groundbreaking campaign, which not only changed the mobile landscape but also paved the way for a significant acquisition after a partnership with a retail giant.
Inspired by their early success, they founded what is now Breathing Lion, combining elements of a startup lab, an investment platform, and a management consulting firm. Breathing Lion seeks asymmetric opportunities and pairs capital with active operational involvement, with the objective of improving execution, aligning incentives, and supporting long-term value creation.
Today, Breathing Lion operates as an investment platform focused on disciplined innovation and resilience. The platform is led by experienced operators and is designed to navigate complex environments and pursue scalable opportunities. For investors, Breathing Lion provides exposure to a differentiated strategy emphasizing execution, intellectual property development, and long-term growth potential.
