What We Look for in a Business Partnership
At Marshall Ventures, we partner with hands-on operators ready to build or grow real businesses. We provide the capital, financial oversight, and structural strategy — you lead the sales, marketing, and day-to-day execution. Here’s what we look for before making any investment:
01
Operator with Grit and Ownership
We back people, not just ideas. We look for partners who are sales-driven, accountable, and obsessed with delivering results. You should have deep commitment to execution, the ability to manage people and chaos, and a willingness to own the outcome.
02
Proven or repeatable business model
We invest in businesses with clear customer demand, strong margins, and a model that can scale beyond the founder. This could be a franchise, a service business, or a startup with early traction — as long as it solves a real problem for a paying customer.
03
Alignment of Values & Vision
Operator values must align with ours. (grit, transparency, long-game)
They want to build something meaningful — not just “make money fast.” They are willing to risk their time/reputation if we risk our capital
