Built for Better Performance: A Portfolio Update from Co-X Holdings
For Scott & Paul and our partners and investors at Co-X Holdings, we all believe that purposeful investment requires active, visionary management. We align ourselves with companies that use smarter operations, disruptive technology, and relationship-driven service to transform their industries.
Our portfolio companies aren't just hitting their milestones—they are actively redefining what performance looks like across hospitality, financial technology, community banking, and life sciences.
Here is a look at what our portfolio is accomplishing in the real world:
1. Co-X Properties: Hospitality Excellence Across the Carolinas
Our hospitality division continues to set a gold standard for regional development and guest experiences, expanding our physical footprint in high-demand business and academic hubs.
Hilton Garden Inn (Greenville University Area, NC): Since its successful opening, this property has quickly become the premier lodging anchor for the East Carolina University area, blending top-tier amenities with seamless corporate and university event hosting. Discover the property layout and amenities directly via the Hilton Garden Inn Greenville University Area Website.
Springhill Suites (Cheraw, SC): Serving as a trusted oasis for business and leisure travelers alike, our Cheraw property continues to deliver exceptional, consistent occupancy and guest satisfaction scores. Explore booking and accommodations on the official Springhill Suites Cheraw Website.
Element by Westin (Chapel Hill, NC) – Coming Soon: We are officially moving forward on our third regional hotel development. This eco-conscious, extended-stay asset will bring a fresh, modern aesthetic to the high-growth Chapel Hill and Research Triangle markets. Learn about the brand's eco-conscious hospitality concept at the Element Hotels Home Page.
2. Pivot Parking: Turning Overlooked Spaces into Asset Performance Opportunities
Parking is more than an amenity; it’s an asset performance opportunity. Pivot Parking continues its meteoric rise as one of the fastest-growing parking operators in the Southeast by helping commercial real estate owners maximize Net Operating Income (NOI).
The Charlotte Expansion: Pivot recently secured the management contract for 301 South Tryon (formerly the landmark Two Wells Fargo Center) right in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. This premium garage asset is built to serve the daily movement of the city's business district.
Smarter Tech Rollouts: To streamline operations, the team launched PivotGO™—an integration mapping real-time parking spot availability directly to Google Maps and Waze—and stood up the centralized CORE Department to standardize operational compliance at scale.

3. Vantaca: Redefining Budget Season with Agentic AI
In the Community Association Management (CAM) sector, Vantaca continues to lead the pack in financial and software engineering.
Introducing HOAi: Vantaca has completely changed the labor economics of property management with the launch of its native artificial intelligence platform, HOAi.
Hours Saved at Scale: Instead of requiring community managers to start complex annual budgets entirely from scratch, HOAi autonomously generates data-driven initial drafts. The team simply reviews them, saving an average of 3 to 6 hours per association. Across a multi-state portfolio, that is budget season redefined.
See the Intelligence in Action: Review the technical capabilities of the new system at the Vantaca HOAi Advanced AI Portal or visit the Vantaca Home Page to explore their broader community operating systems.
4. Dogwood State Bank: A Landmark Partnership for Regional Growth
Our commitment to local, relationship-based community banking hit an incredible milestone with a major regional expansion.
The TowneBank Affiliation: Following shareholder and regulatory approval, Dogwood State Bank officially completed its legal combination to become a division of TowneBank.
Deepened Regional Footprint: Operating initially across its 17 familiar locations with the same trusted local bankers, this affiliation creates a powerhouse regional institution equipped to handle larger loan requests, advanced digital banking, and deeper capital relationships across the commercial footprint.

5. Nurses 24/7: Meeting Critical Needs in Modern Healthcare
Amid a highly strained national healthcare landscape facing severe nurse staffing shortages, Nurses 24/7 continues to play an indispensable role in workforce resilience.
Clinical Staffing Innovation: By matching premier nursing talent with hospitals and care coordination units, Nurses 24/7 helps healthcare leaders manage costs and reduce reliance on high-stress, last-minute premium bonuses.
The Current Landscape: As healthcare demands shift toward team-based care models, Nurses 24/7 remains focused on placing flexible, highly skilled clinicians where they are needed most, ensuring uninterrupted, exceptional patient care. Learn more about their placement services via the Nurses 24/7 Home Page.
6. Sentinel Advisors: Clear Guidance in Complex Markets
Navigating economic volatility requires an experienced hand, and Sentinel Advisors continues to deliver elite pension advisory and wealth management clarity.
Strategic Market Positioning: Leading with a data-first approach, the Sentinel team provides the stability and risk mitigation corporate partners require to protect retirement planning assets.
Mitigating Volatility: By helping institutional clients correctly position portfolios across bonds, alternatives, and cash, Sentinel ensures long-term financial clarity for the organizations they serve. Explore their institutional consulting frameworks at the Sentinel Advisors Home Page.
7. Xalud Therapeutics: Advancing the Boundaries of DNA Medicine
Our investment in biopharmaceuticals centers on addressing the root causes of chronic, painful inflammatory conditions.
The Non-Viral DNA Platform: Xalud Therapeutics continues to make profound waves in clinical-stage biotechnology. The company is leveraging its proprietary, non-viral plasmid DNA delivery platform to harness Interleukin-10 (IL-10)—the immune system's master anti-inflammatory regulator.
Clinical Momentum: Backed by prior FDA Fast Track designation for its leading clinical candidate, XT-150, for treating pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee, Xalud’s ongoing research into systemic neuro-inflammation keeps it at the absolute cutting edge of restoring immunological balance.
Track Clinical Progress: View ongoing research indices and multi-indication progress parameters directly on the Xalud Therapeutics Patients & Clinical Trials Portal or discover their underlying medical mission at the Xalud Therapeutics Home Page.
The Bottom Line
Whether we are building eco-conscious hotels, automating financial workflows with AI, or scaling DNA therapies, the theme across Co-X Holdings remains exactly the same: we fund the infrastructure that empowers companies to perform better.
