Lion’s Share Strategies Blends Private Equity and Holdings to Scale Mission-Driven Ventures

Lion’s Share Strategies, originally formed as a private family office backed by three direct investors with roots in eBay, Uber, and PayPal, has announced the launch of a dual-structure model that combines a private equity fund with a permanent holdings platform. The firm also appointed Amanda Opperman, PhD, as Chief Impact Officer to lead the expansion.

The new structure positions Lion’s Share to deploy capital through both traditional fund vehicles and a holdings model designed for long-term acquisitions and operational growth. This blended approach provides flexibility for founders and transparency for limited partners (LPs), while opening multiple pathways to value creation.

Currently, Lion’s Share has 11 portfolio companies across the platform and $33M invested by current partners, with an additional $17M open in the equity fund, bringing the total fund size to $50M.

“What sets Lion’s Share apart is that we bridge consulting and capital,” said Opperman. “Most firms do one or the other. We do both. That means we can roll up our sleeves to fix what’s broken, design a strategy that works in the real world, and then bring in capital to make it happen. It’s a one-stop partner for organizations that don’t have time to juggle multiple firms.”

This operator-driven model allows Lion’s Share to move quickly on acquisitions or deploy fund capital in a way that matches LPs’ appetite for risk and return. According to Opperman, “When markets tighten, strong companies with real fundamentals are often overlooked. That’s when disciplined investors can step in and create outsized value.”

The firm’s expanded investment thesis focuses on opportunities created by rapid shifts in federal funding priorities. As traditional revenue streams in education, research, and public health face uncertainty, organizations that once depended on federal dollars are being pushed to find new pathways to sustainability.

“This moment has opened the door for ventures that can translate mission into commercializable solutions — products, services, and platforms with measurable market demand,” said Opperman. “By backing companies that bridge this gap, Lion’s Share Strategies aims to turn disruption into durable growth, scaling enterprises that deliver both impact and returns in sectors too essential to be left behind.” Learn more: https://www.lionssharestrategies.com/equity
