Our investment approach is to meet with founders on a personal level to gain insight into the unique pain points of each firm. From there, we work with founders to leverage our capabilities to create and deploy custom solutions. As an entrepreneurial investment firm, we are focused on finding creative ways to solve problems.
As new challenges arise, our team of experienced entrepreneurs creates new business competencies which have grown in the family of businesses known as Vital Enterprises.

Capital
Companies, particularly in capital intensive industries like manufacturing, come to us with capital needs, whether that be a one time capital injection or ongoing working capital management. We often work closely with founders to help manage working capital with line of credit support and factoring, helping to accelerate growth. Startups often have a difficult time securing a line of credit, so our working capital support goes a long way with helping small businesses.
Engineering Services / Product Development
With our background in the tech industry, we help our businesses and clients with development and testing of technology solutions. With our portfolio company, Novus Labs, we are the primary engineering provider for many tech firms. We've created hardware and software solutions for companies in facial recognition, motion tracking, autonomous driving software, environmental stress testing, mobile app development, and many more. Novus also offers validation and testing, industry compliance, and has technical partners such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
Sales and Marketing
When working with new businesses, we use our in-house marketing design team for logo creation, web design, photography, asset creation, SEO services, and sales support. Our Vital Enterprises team has served as the primary sales and marketing program for many businesses from tech services to dental products.
Recruiting / HR
With our portfolio staffing agency, Cinder, we understand the challenge of finding the right talent for your team – in fact, we’ve hired more than one thousand employees in the past decade. Cinder's Recruiting and HR services support our many companies as well as our external clients with teams ranging from a few positions to over 150 active contractors.
