Purpose-driven capital for people who build.

If you have a differentiated business model that can be scaled, let's talk about whether we can partner and grow together.

We have no outside clients and accept no external capital. That independence lets us be patient.

Who we are

Committed to making a difference in Wisconsin.

We seek to invest in people, processes, and increasing profits. The Company helps individuals and companies grow by providing patient capital to realize their potential and their dreams.

01

People

We back founders of character and integrity, and we stay involved: a board seat, honest counsel, and a long view.

02

Processes

We help build company cultures and guide decision makers through an ever-changing business environment.

03

Profits

Tailored financing gives each investment the time and liquidity it needs to fully develop and compound.

Our approach

Patient capital. Opportunistic focus.

Vertical Investments maintains a diversified portfolio with an opportunistic focus on innovative, often disruptive approaches to traditional industries.

Because we have no outside clients and do not accept external capital, we are free to design innovative, tailored financing solutions that give our investments sufficient time and liquidity to fully develop.
