Our Investment Approach

What We Do
At Tip of the Spear Ventures, we take a direct investment approach—deploying our own capital and time into companies with the potential to grow. We partner with exceptional operators and founders, typically in the lower-middle market, and work alongside them to unlock value and accelerate performance.

How We Invest
We pursue majority and meaningful minority ownership positions, often structured with founder rollover equity. Our goal is to bring more than capital—we deliver hands-on operational support and strategic leadership drawn from decades of experience in business transformation, M&A, and executive development.

What We Look For

Our Ideal Investment Profile Includes:

  • Founder-led or closely held businesses
  • Revenue between $5M and $100M
  • EBITDA-positive or breakeven with reinvestment in growth
  • Operating in or adjacent to cloud-based IT services (AWS, Azure, GCP), B2B services, or other scalable verticals
  • Opportunities for strategic scaling, add-ons, or market expansion

Geography: Primarily U.S.-based businesses
Stage: Growth-stage or transition-ready (e.g., founder succession, recapitalization)

Our Value-Add

We deliver enterprise value by embedding strategy, execution, and leadership alignment into every investment. Our playbook is designed to:

  • Accelerate go-to-market initiatives
  • Modernize operational systems
  • Strengthen leadership and talent pipelines
  • Position the company for sustainable growth or future exit

We are not passive investors—we engage where we can have real, measurable impact.

Referral Program

We offer a referral fee on introductions that result in a closed investment or service engagement.

Who to Refer:

  • Owners exploring succession, recapitalization, or growth equity
  • Channel partners or MSPs aligned with AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure
  • CTOs, Founders, or Executives at scaling tech-enabled services firms
