Efficient. Knowledgeable. Quality-Obsessed.

We believe in long-term partnership. We typically charge competitive rates for our services and often include long-term equity or bonus incentives for complete alignment. In our experience, this is how winning teams are formed and long-term alliances are established.

Venture First is Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Through partnership, we’ve fostered and supported a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in an ongoing effort to drive innovation. 

Venture First is more than the sum of its investments and services. Entrepreneurs who are growing their companies are supported by our technologies and methodologies. We enable investors who provide capital for these endeavors. By facilitating the network of people who make new visions thrive, we enable the commerce that fuels these activities.

Venture First provides a range of financial services, including transaction stewardship, intensive CFO leadership, insightful valuation analysis, detailed accounting, market intelligence, and a highly curated family of specialty funds. Over time, we will continue to add new offerings to further support this venture ecosystem.
