Funding and mentorship for practical businesses

We back coachable founders building real, cash-flowing companies—from manufacturers and food producers to contractors and service businesses. If you’re hungry to scale and eager to learn from experienced mentors, let’s get to work.

Applications are open year-round and reviewed on a rolling basis. We also host periodic pitch showcases—apply anytime and we’ll be in touch.

What you get

Patient capital

We’ve built a fund centered on small businesses. When you’re ready, we invest to help you scale—without the pressure to chase a quick, risky exit.

Hands-on mentorship

Work with seasoned entrepreneurs and operators who teach proven lean methods, so you can iterate quickly and grow your business 2x, 5x, and 10x.

Connections that matter

Not every business needs capital first. We connect you with the domain specialists, mentors, and community you need—even before you’re ready for investment.

Who we’re looking for

We love bootstrappers and tangible businesses. The founders who catch our attention are go-getters: driven to grow, coachable, and eager to learn from our mentors’ experience—and their mistakes.

Our first portfolio company, Naples AI Agency (opens in new window), was profitable in its first month in business. If that sounds like the kind of company you’re building, we’d love to meet you.
