Smart Money - Founders
Who Have Been There
Our Partners have over 100 years of private equity investing and operations experience. We have personally started, funded, grown and exited multiple companies with a combined valuation in excess of $500M...Right Here in Pittsburgh.
But, it wasn't easy!
Now, we seek to make that road easier for start-up companies and to give back to the city that helped us realize our dreams by partnering with the best-of-the-best in the Pittsburgh region to bring economic, employment, social and personal success to founders, employees, institutions, and investors...by re-investing our time, money, first-hand knowledge, contact network and resources in the communities that we love.
