Cole built and runs a SaaS company. Zach built a real estate capital business from a software engineering background. When we write a check, it's our money — and we're picking up the phone when you call. We back small, real businesses we actually understand.
We invest in what we live in. Software, services, and businesses that touch real estate or operations — the things our day-to-day teaches us how to evaluate.

Bias toward founders in the Mountain West & SoutheastOperator-builders, not pitch-deck pros
If you've shipped, served, or sweated — we're listeningWe've been on the founder side. We know what helpful looks like — and what "value-add" usually really means.
Inside two weeks of a real conversation you'll hear a clear answer. We don't drag founders through 12-week diligence cycles for a $50K check.
We're available, but we don't pretend to be your COO. Monthly check-in, warm intros from our network, real opinions when asked. No board theater.
We don't have an LP timeline. If you want to grow profitably for ten years instead of raising a Series B, we're aligned. If you need to exit fast, we're aligned with that too.
So you don't waste a pitch on us — or worse, take money from people who can't actually help.
Send a paragraph about what you're working on, the numbers as they stand, and what you'd do with our check. Real responses to real notes.
