Business Development

OUR STORY

​

Duro was founded by Chadd Knights and Teji Gobran who met working at a family office private equity firm that was led by a hands-on entrepreneur.

​

Chadd has previously worked in funds management focusing on the small cap space. After a few years, he chose to move into private equity, where operators are notoriously known for delving deep into business fundamentals.

​

From a young age, Chadd had his heart set on becoming an investor, and this was the path he designed and executed for himself.

​

On the other hand, Teji had founded and ran his own construction and property business which he eventually scaled to an 8-figure revenue business. He entered the private equity space where he crossed paths with Chadd.

​

After managing our own portfolio for some time, we decided to establish the firm and extend the invitation to like-minded investors to join us on this journey.
