Appropriate to the opportunity.
37C is considered where a dedicated structure serves a clear investment rationale and a defined set of participating investors.
37C / Private Investment Platform
Capital,
structured.
37C is JFB's private investment platform for select situations that benefit from a purpose-built investment vehicle, disciplined oversight, and a management approach connected to the broader enterprise context.
Explore the Model →The 37C Role
A capital capability inside the JFB platform.
37C is not a separate advisory practice. It is the vehicle layer that may be brought forward when a select opportunity calls for a dedicated private investment structure. The surrounding strategic rationale, diligence, governance, and oversight remain connected to the same enterprise logic that guides JFB's broader work.
Structured around the situation.
Each vehicle is designed around the specific opportunity, its ownership needs, governance requirements, and intended operating context.
Context does not disappear.
Capital structure and investment oversight stay connected to the strategic, operating, and governance considerations that shape the underlying enterprise.
The 37C Process
From opportunity to disciplined oversight.
The sequence below describes the operating logic of a structured private investment opportunity. Specific process, documentation, participation, and governance requirements vary with the relevant facts and applicable requirements.

What Structure Means
Clarity around the vehicle and the relationship.
Structure is more than forming an entity. It is the discipline of making the purpose, roles, information flows, decision processes, and administration legible before capital is put to work.
Purpose
A defined investment rationale, scope, and relationship to the underlying enterprise or opportunity.
Vehicle
A dedicated structure configured for the relevant ownership, participation, governance, and administrative context.
Governance
Clear decision roles, escalation paths, oversight expectations, and operating discipline.
Information
Appropriate reporting, communication, and access to the information necessary for informed oversight.
Lifecycle
A deliberate view of formation, management, realization, and any eventual wind-down requirements.
Connected To JFB
Capital is one part of the enterprise picture.
37C draws on the broader platform when capital decisions create consequences across the enterprise. The investment structure does not replace strategy, operating capacity, leadership, or governance. It is designed to sit alongside them.
Strategy
Tests whether the opportunity reinforces the intended enterprise direction and owner objectives.
Operating Architecture
Considers the management capacity, operating realities, and execution discipline behind the opportunity.
Leadership & Governance
Clarifies the authority, oversight, decision rights, and relationships required around the structure.
Enterprise Intelligence
Supports the visibility and information discipline needed for ongoing management and informed decisions.
