Despite allocating meaningful capital into F&B and hospitality — backing concepts, acquiring businesses, developing assets — wealthy individuals and family offices often don't know who to turn to for trusted, industry-specific expertise.Institutional investors have their operating partners and interim management teams on speed-dial, but who should private investors and their core advisors turn to when an investment requires specialized knowledge?
