Western Metal Investments Information

Western Metal Investments is a private family investment office formed as the result of a successful business partnership between George Scopetta and James Chao, MD. Their partnership began in July 2015 through a chance meeting of two like-minded entrepreneurs at a baseball game at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. Western Metal boasts a portfolio of companies in which it not only invests but takes an integral role in operations. Western Metal’s mission is to continue to forge a path at the forefront of innovation in the medical, real estate, technology, and investment spaces. It looks to involve itself in companies that offer significant market solutions while having a substantial runway for growth. Unlike many investment businesses today, Western Metal is founded on a strong foundation of shared values and George and James share the same vision for their portfolio and bring their own nuanced expertise to the table in every pairing. Western Metal was truly born out of a serendipitous, “American Dream” story, yet it remains rooted in progressive, forward-thinking that will offer its companies and those investing alongside it endless opportunities.
