We also invest in your idea!

If you’re building something with true potential to scale — whether it’s a high-end product, a licensing-ready concept, or a niche service with national or global potential — we may be able to support you through investment in exchange for equity.

We partner with select founders to help turn strong ideas into valuable ventures.

This can mean helping you build it out, increasing its market value, and even preparing it for acquisition or licensing to a higher bidder.
