Barrel Ventures

We know what it’s like to be in the trenches. We’ve started companies, grown them, sold them, and had our share of failures too. We back entrepreneurs who want a true partner at their side through the good, the bad, and the ugly. We choose our investments carefully from the perspective of entrepreneurs. We are partners in many ways who use our decades of experience and unique relationships to help our companies scale. We’re midwesterners who aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty.
