Tyrone Moodley began investing as a teenager, co-founding an investment partnership in high school that grew money from friends and family at more than 30% a year for seven years, and he later took on operating roles—stepping in as interim CEO for South Africa's Domino's Pizza and Starbucks franchises—that shaped his belief that strong teams drive strong financial results. At HAVAÍC, he focuses on the later stages of venture investing, helping startups tighten their finances and governance so they can attract private equity buyers, an approach he explains partly through a horse-racing analogy that looks at the company, the CEO, and the market before deciding on price.
