Intellectual Capitalists

We are not venture capitalists. We provide intellectual capital.

We help founders turn their insights and ideas into scalable products and businesses. We are a team of former BigLaw attorneys, former bank regulators, and deeply experienced professionals with executive experience in the financial institution space. We deliver real world success for clients in highly regulated financial services industries.
