Institutional capital. Operator DNA.
We're an investment platform built by operators. Every dollar we deploy is paired with the execution muscle to compound it — because capital without operating ability is just a lottery ticket.
A multi-sector investment platform with deep operator roots.
Retrospx invests in and operates high-growth businesses across four core verticals: ecommerce, telecom, data centers, and tower infrastructure. Our founders have built, scaled, and exited companies in each — so when we write a check, we're underwriting operational reality, not a pitch deck.
The platform was founded in 2019. We operate from Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami — three cities chosen for their combined reach into energy and land markets (Houston), media and tech capital (Los Angeles), and Latin American commerce corridors (Miami).
Ecommerce
Acquiring and scaling digital-native brands across underserved categories. Operator-driven growth, international expansion, disciplined exits.
Telecom
MVNO investments, niche cellular plans, carrier partnerships, IoT connectivity, SIM and eSIM ecosystems, and wholesale monetization layers.
Data Centers
Capital deployment into land, power, and build-out to meet AI-driven compute demand. Hyperscale-adjacent and distributed edge capacity.
Towers
Acquiring and developing tower assets with long-duration carrier leases. Colocation economics, ground-up builds, and portfolio aggregation.
We invest where operating expertise creates alpha.
Thesis-driven
Every vertical has a written thesis. We know what we're looking for before we see it, which means when the right deal surfaces we can move in days, not quarters.
Full-stack diligence
We underwrite operationally — permits, supply chain, regulatory exposure, unit economics, conversion, wholesale terms. Not just financials.
Operator-led post-close
We embed. We don't watch from a board seat. The partners and the operating team take active roles in the businesses we acquire — which is why our portfolio compounds.
Two founders. Complementary edges.
Fred A.
Fred is a serial ecommerce operator with multiple 8-figure exits. He started in digital commerce, building and selling brands across consumer categories before expanding into real estate — land acquisition and vertical development — as the capital base grew. Along the way he built an operating footprint across international ecommerce and call center operations spanning multiple time zones.
From ecommerce he moved into telecom ecosystems: MVNO investments, niche cellular plans, network operator partnerships, and the wholesale monetization layers underneath. That domain knowledge extended naturally into the physical infrastructure carrying those networks — data center development and tower acquisition.
At Retrospx, Fred leads capital allocation and ecosystem strategy. He decides where Retrospx deploys, how we structure, and how our verticals compound into each other. He's the thesis author.

Frank R.
Frank is the execution backbone of Retrospx. His expertise sits where most investors lose money: licensing, permitting, and regulatory navigation across multiple jurisdictions. He has spent his career clearing the path for physical assets — towers, data centers, land entitlements — to actually get built, on time and on budget.
Before Retrospx, Frank built a track record in ecommerce development and infrastructure enablement. That combination — a permitting mind paired with a commerce mind — is unusual and valuable. It means Retrospx can underwrite regulated infrastructure deals and consumer ecommerce deals through the same operational lens.
Frank runs execution across Retrospx's physical investments. When we acquire a tower portfolio or build a data center, Frank is the reason it reaches revenue. He also runs Retrospx's Houston operations, keeping the company embedded in local permitting, infrastructure, and municipal relationships.

Domain depth
Two founders who have personally operated in every vertical we invest in. When a deal walks through the door, we can evaluate it inside an hour.
Regulatory fluency
Most capital can't move through permitting, licensing, and cross-jurisdiction compliance. Ours can. That's an edge in infrastructure and in regulated verticals.
Cross-vertical leverage
Our verticals feed each other. Tower assets anchor telecom relationships. Telecom relationships accelerate IoT ecommerce. Ecommerce data refines DC siting. Compounding compounding.
