Redefining early stage investing in under served venture capital markets. We believe in investing in highly ethical, smart-working listeners who seek committed partners to help them build their businesses. We are most often part of the first “organized money” invested in companies. We expect our companies to have customers beyond the founders’ uncle or their best friends. As early-stage investors, we love to make good ideas into great companies. The company we invest in on Day 1 will likely look very different on Day 2. We’re looking for great entrepreneurs, not sectors. We invest in companies based in the Mountain West and Midwest with select engagements in the Pacific Northwest and California. Our family legacy includes standing up retail and media ventures, because in 1895 Sears and CBS were the ventures of the day...yes, we go back that far. Our core team was motivated to be the ones that bring the tradition of standing up the new industries of the day. We've now expanded our reach to include outside LPs, new team members, and a broad portfolio of successful companies.
