WE BUILD BUSINESSES
For over 25 years, SideStarter has built and self-funded its own ventures, while also partnering with select experienced professionals to help them transform their ideas into meaningful companies.
Our Portfolio
Discuss an Idea
Why is the “typical" entrepreneur in their 20s or 30s and not their 50s, 60s or 70s?
We challenge this.
Why is the goal of most businesses to sell or go public?
We challenge this.
We feel a business can also be “successful” if it’s meaningful to you, works for your stage of life, or leaves a legacy for your family.
We help our clients define what success means to them.
We choose to work with professionals who have the experience, maturity and clarity of what success means to them.
These are the clients we choose to work with.
About us
