Private Equity & Venture Investments

Greentree Ventures LLC is a technology focused venture capital, private equity and merchant banking firm that is affiliated with Greentree Partners LLC, a leading boutique Financial Advisory Firm focused on Merger and Acquisition investment banking for the software and information technology industries.

With offices in Scottsdale, AZ and Cedar Rapids, IA, Greentree Ventures LLC invests in growing, technology driven companies throughout the West, South West and Mid-West areas.  Our primary objective is to assist managers and entrepreneurs in building businesses and creating equity value.  Unlike traditional or later stage VC’s, Greentree adds value to our portfolio companies by taking the role of an active, working partner with management through the board of directors and providing access to the full operational and financial resources of our firm, its investments, contacts and global network.

Since 2000, the founders and partners of Greentree have invested in or help found over 35 investments in the information technology industry across a broad range of sectors, from enterprise software to information services to advanced on-demand customized apparel.
