ABOUT US

Brown and White Ventures Logo

Brown and White Ventures is a privately operated early-stage investment fund dedicated to backing bold founders and innovative startups across a range of high-impact sectors—including healthcare services, medical technologies, information technology, energy, transportation, and cutting-edge technology. We are particularly committed to supporting companies led by women and minorities, as well as businesses across Upstate & Western New York, a region rich with underleveraged talent and opportunity.

 

We serve as a strategic partner to entrepreneurs and venture capital investors alike, offering not only capital but also guidance, industry insight, and long-term support. Our values—honesty, patience, and reliability—shape how we build relationships and make decisions, always with an eye toward sustainable growth and shared success.

 

The fund is independently managed and unaffiliated with any institution, but as a gesture of gratitude and impact, a portion of net profits is earmarked for donation to St. Bonaventure University, the alma mater of our founding team. This commitment reflects our roots and our dedication to reinvesting in future generations of leaders.

 

At Brown and White Ventures, we believe early-stage capital is about more than returns—it’s about trust, partnership, and building companies that matter.
