Our team

Entrepreneurs at heart, investors by expertise.

Twelve31 partners with small businesses at a point of transition. Our team includes operators, finance people and industry specialists who have built and grown companies of their own.

We have made payroll, managed cash through lean months, and led acquisitions and turnarounds. Some of us came from private equity and Wall Street. Others spent decades running businesses from the ground up.

We respect the work it takes to build a business customers trust. When we partner with a company, we work alongside its leaders to tighten operations, invest in growth, and keep what already works.

We are in it for the long term.
