# OctoFox

> Miami-based operating and investment platform. We acquire majority positions in heritage brands and founder-led mid-market companies, take direct operating responsibility, and rebuild them over time. Twenty years of cross-border turnaround experience between the United States and Europe. Founded February 2026 by Edouard Burrus.

OctoFox is not a fund chasing IRRs on a fixed timeline. It is an operator-led platform that consolidates two decades of heritage-brand restructuring under one name. The firm targets situations where operational complexity hides unrealized value: heritage brands that have lost direction, founder-led businesses preparing for transition, and cross-border situations where most others see only friction.

The firm operates from Miami with a U.S. focus and active European reach, drawing on prior turnarounds across Italy, Switzerland, France, and the United States.
