Lanclos, C is the current CEO/President of their Louisiana-based private investment house - Lanclos Limited. With a deep desire to carry forward Ninon's illustrious legacy of helping others, whether investments are made or not, Lanclos and his family are more than willing to offer assistance whenever possible. From assembling a group of people to help families with basic needs, to making available their vast network of capital partners to assist entrepreneurs in scaling their companies globally, to them, it’s all very inspiring to play a small role in the betterment of people’s lives. Lanclos personally connects with the hand-selected founders that they believe meet their unique altruistic investment standards. Founded on the ideology that people are the most valuable assets in their partnerships, they realize that their approach of first understanding the benevolence of a founder before the revenues of their companies is not ordinary. However, they deeply appreciate that extra effort some offer for the betterment of their communities. Matter-of-fact, they actively seek business owners who see philanthropic endeavors as a part of overall personal success. Simply put, as legacy investors, they prefer to support founders who are building something more than just a business.

 

"To us, it says a lot about a person who willingly

shoulders the burden of the less fortunate."

- Lanclos

​

Operationally, Lanclos Limited practices a “laissez faire” style of investing where they are a hands-off partner, allowing founders to run their companies.  However, they will bring non-financial resources to help companies scale, in addition to growth capital. They collaborate alongside a very seasoned and elite network of like-minded investors that are self-funded, which helps with the creative aspects of financing a deal. They value the time-tested approach of engaging with founders from a top-down perspective to thoroughly understand their vision before numbers are ever discussed. As generalists investing in top-tier companies across a broad range of asset classes, they are interested in global companies with revenues of up to $100M that are headquartered in North America. Although, smaller profitable companies may be considered if they show impressive growth rates and are positioned for best-in-class status. Their ideal candidate is a company with demand for its products or services outpacing operating capital, has solid leadership in place, and has a clear path to scale.​
