Our Story
A group of like-minded founders with ties to Eastern Kentucky came together to establish an Angel Fund focused on building an ecosystem for sustainable, profitable businesses. Our partners possess a deep cultural connection to the region.
The fund was established to be more than strong financial returns to investor-members. It is primarily focused on creating quality jobs and wealth for Central Appalachian communities while serving as a catalyst connecting regional resources, talent, and capital.
We look back on our journey and recognize that we were once rural small businesses who lacked access to the mentoring and funding necessary to scale our businesses effectively and this is the ethos that drives our members to pour into central Appalachia.
