CompanyFirst Information

CompanyFirst is an "Emerging Brand Accelerator"​ that invests in and works closely with passionate entrepreneurs to help them build great consumer-focused companies and brands. PRIORITIES: Entrepreneurs and their businesses come first. Our top priority is to help great teams build more valuable companies. This is not about building our firm or feeding our egos...if we build great companies, the rest will take care of itself, including returns to our investors. This is why we named our firm CompanyFirst. HUMILITY: We are humbled by the myriad of amazing people and companies we have been fortunate to partner and work with. It is our privilege to have the opportunity to work with great entrepreneurs, and we are adamant that we must work diligently every day to continue to earn that right and their trust. INTEGRITY: The only way to treat people is with sincerity and integrity. No matter how much money or wealth one accumulates, we believe true worth is measured by your reputation and character. We commit to being open and honest, and expect others to do the same in return...in business and in life. FOCUS: We focus on the exciting market of innovative, emerging consumer branded products and services. We invest in companies with high growth potential. We back passionate, inspired entrepreneurs with big ideas, a clear vision, and a plan for execution. STRATEGY: We invest across multiple stages of growth, often starting with Series A rounds. We reinvest in success, i.e. continue to invest in the best companies in our portfolio across multiple rounds. We co-invest with great partners to bring the best resources to companies.
