Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) is a public operating company that invests in its larger pre-IPO acquisitions and fundings. Mentor takes a significant position in the various members of our family of participating companies but leaves operating control in the hands of the company founders. This allows founders to continue to lead and grow their businesses with the funding, acquisition currency, and benefits of working within the public environment. Investors also may find liquidity if they choose to exchange all or part of their ownership for Mentor shares.
