What we do

We invest our own capital, alongside our partners. Every investment comes with our time and our network, not only a check.

  1. Real estateCommercial buildings in Salt Lake City, improved and held. Where most of our capital sits.
  2. Private creditShort term loans secured by Utah real estate, kept on our own books.
  3. CPG and ventureEarly investments in consumer brands, mostly food and beverage, with introductions that help them grow.

Real estate came first. Lending followed, as a way to solve problems for partners and sellers. Our brand investments followed the relationships.

REAL ESTATE

Commercial buildings in Salt Lake City, improved and held for the long term.

Sellers and brokers deal directly with the people who decide.

Lending

PRIVATE CREDIT

Short term loans secured by a first position on Utah real estate.

Consumer brands

CPG & VENTURE

Early capital for food and beverage founders, with introductions to go with it.

Most come to us through founders we know, people we trust, or The Angel Group, a private community of consumer brand investors who source deals together. We aim to stay useful well beyond the first check.

How we find deals

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Most of our deals start with a relationship.

Most of what has worked came from someone we trust mentioning something they cared about.

We invest as long term partners. We want the businesses we back to be healthy for decades, not tuned for a quick exit. When an introduction, a resource or a second opinion would help, we offer it.

Geography and population

WHY UTAH

Bounded by mountains and a lake. Built to keep growing.

The geography of constraint

A lake on one side. A mountain range on the other.

The land in between is finite. The people moving in are not.

  1. 5.6MUtahns projected by 2065, nearly two million more than todayGardner Institute, Utah 2065 projections
  2. 1.5%Job growth last year, against roughly 0.9% nationallyGardner Institute, 2026 Economic Report to the Governor
  3. 3.3%Unemployment last yearGardner Institute, 2026 Economic Report to the Governor

The core thesis

Limited land. Steady population growth. A broad economy.

We are betting on supply and demand in a place where both happen to be unusually easy to see.

Real estate. Private credit. CPG & venture.

About · A short introduction

A private holding company built around real estate in Utah.

Our team started by learning.

We spent months with people who knew Salt Lake City better than we did. One broker became a trusted advisor, represented us on our first acquisition, a triplex, and has been part of nearly every transaction we have completed in the market since.

Most of our best opportunities have come through the Salt Lake community, and we try to give back the same way: with introductions, time and capital. We stay close to every building, loan and founder we back, and we value the relationship more than the size of any single deal.
