Built for the businesses that win locally.

Mountain States Ventures bridges the gap between how founder-led businesses operate and the level of financial discipline and capital strategy required to scale, pursue M&A, or realize full enterprise value.

Many great companies succeed through hard work, execution, and relationships, but few have access to the institutional finance infrastructure that larger organizations rely on to grow and attract the right partners.

I started MSV after years working across lower middle-market investing and operating roles within founder-led businesses, seeing firsthand what drives growth, what holds companies back, and how the right structure and strategy can unlock real value.

We bring institutional level strategy and hands-on execution to closely held companies, helping owners professionalize finance, structure recapitalizations, and unlock liquidity to fund growth and maximize value.
