101 Ventures
We are in the business of starting and growing high performing, capital-efficient businesses.
We invest in winners. Sometimes that means running with an idea of our own or helping someone else get one off the ground. Sometimes we even invest our time, money and talent to help an existing business that hasn't quite reached its potential.
