1845 Ventures starts companies instead of funding them from the sidelines. The studio takes on a small number of ventures each year and embeds with each one, shaping the model, building the team and carrying real risk beside the founder from the first day. Ryan Brown and Trey Bowles run it, both operators who built and scaled companies of their own before opening the studio in Texas. Eagle Venture Studio helped launch 1845 Ventures and holds a stake in it, so our investors share in every company the studio builds.
Key Highlights
- A small number of new companies a year, each one built from the inside
- Operators in the business every week, not a board seat and a check
- Optimus OS, Our Block, Noodleflow and NotaFi in the portfolio today
