Our Story
With more than 30 years experience, our rich legacy of investing begins with Massey Burch and Richland Ventures, two leading investment firms in the 80’s and 90’s.
These firms are the foundation to our existence as investors backing entrepreneurs driving change, access, and outcomes in the private market ecosystem.
