We work with teams from anywhere in North America, but – where possible – we leverage our location to create additional value.
Decades of walking some of the more opaque corridors in the country have resulted in unique access and connections, and we bring this network to bear for each of our companies. This ecosystem can be esoteric and nuanced, but with over sixty years of combined experience as operators, entrepreneurs, and investors, it’s safe to say we speak the language.

NextGen is a network-driven venture partner for exceptional entrepreneurs. Our network of young startup investors are leaders in the entrepreneurial community who use their collective skills and connections to support the growth of our portfolio companies.

Golden Angels Investors began in 2002 with the goal of helping capital formation for entrepreneurs in the Midwest.

Its members are or have been founders, CEOs, venture capitalists and business leaders. They bring a track record of success and a willingness to assist entrepreneurs in building great companies.

Founders Capital Partners (FCP) is a group of “angel investors” – individuals who invest in early-stage, technology-based businesses. We tend to be the first investors beyond “friends and family”. If traditional venture firms have already invested, it is generally too late for us to become involved.

We are a group of some 40 individual investors – active and retired entrepreneurs, executives, industrial and academic scientists and engineers. All are accredited investors. Participation by individuals in any given project is their own decision, based on their interests and their perception of risk/reward.
