Operating discipline for
the regenerative portfolio.

Illahee Capital is an operational consultancy for the funds, family offices, and foundations deploying capital into European regenerative agriculture.

The work is what turns a committed investment into a functioning business. Financial controls. Management reporting. Day-to-day operating leadership inside acquired farms, portfolio companies, and the food and agriculture operations that capital allocators need to run well.

Based in Amsterdam. Engagements across the European Union.

Founded by
C. Labe Orloff

Labe Orloff spent two decades running businesses across the US and Europe. He moved to Amsterdam in 2019, drawn by a Europe that takes environmental transition seriously, and founded Illahee Capital because regenerative agriculture is the right driver for change, and the hurdle is making the economics work for the farmers and companies ready to make the shift.

One mandate.
Three ways it shows up.

Core Engagement · Portfolio Operator
Fractional and Interim Operating Leadership

A senior operator in the seat when a fund needs one. Fractional or interim, depending on what the business requires. Dropped in while the permanent hire is being found, a new acquisition is being integrated, or the company is navigating a period of real change.

01 — Component
Financial Controls and Reporting

Installing the financial infrastructure a fund actually needs to see through to its portfolio. Management accounts, KPI frameworks, board reporting, and the cost and margin visibility that makes the next decision possible.

02 — Component
Post-Acquisition Integration

The first ninety days after a deal closes. Standing up the operating cadence, clarifying roles, and bringing order to the operational side of a newly acquired business before issues compound.

Why Now · Why Europe
European regenerative agriculture is moving from thesis to deployment. Capital is committed. Programs are active. Acquisitions are closing. The gap now is not capital or conviction. It is the operational capacity to turn that capital into running businesses, across acquired farms, food and agriculture portfolio companies, and the buy-and-build platforms forming in every serious fund's pipeline. That is where Illahee Capital works.

Let's talk about
the work.

Illahee Capital works with funds, family offices, foundations, and the portfolio companies they back. If you have an acquisition closing, a portfolio company without a seasoned operator, or a fund looking for operating capacity across its pipeline, this is the conversation to start.

Amsterdam-based. Available across the European Union.
