Tip of The Spear Ventures
About Tip of The Spear Ventures
At Tip of the Spear Ventures, we take a direct investment approach—deploying our own capital and time into companies with the potential to grow.
We partner with exceptional operators and founders, typically in the lower-middle market, and work alongside them to unlock value and accelerate performance.
How We Invest
We pursue majority and meaningful minority ownership positions, often structured with founder rollover equity. Our goal is to bring more than capital—we deliver hands-on operational support and strategic leadership drawn from decades of experience in business transformation, M&A, and executive development.
Our Ideal Investment Profile Includes:
▪ Founder-led or closely held businesses
▪ Revenue between $5M and $100M
▪ EBITDA-positive or breakeven with reinvestment in growth
▪ Operating in or adjacent to cloud-based IT services (AWS, Azure, GCP), B2B services, or other scalable verticals
▪ Opportunities for strategic scaling, add-ons, or market expansion
▪ Geography: Primarily U.S.-based businesses
▪ Stage: Growth-stage or transition-ready (e.g., founder succession, recapitalization)
