Welcome.

My name is Eric Hahn.  In 1998, after nearly three decades of being an entrepreneur myself, I began investing in, joining the boards of, and trying to be helpful to a small group of emerging companies.  It has been immensely enjoyable and rewarding for me and, hopefully, helpful to the entrepreneurs and their companies.  Together with Glenn Goldberg (our Search Consulting Partner) and Kathy Beal (our Finance Consulting Partner), we’re the Inventures Group.

Alas, there isn’t a good term for what we do.  Like a venture capital firm, we invest money in our companies.  Like an "angel", we try to bring our own experiences to bear against issues which confront the team.  Like a friend, we try to serve as confidant to the CEO and the team.

But the Inventures Group is not a VC firm.  We have no limited partners’ expectations to attend to – all of the funds are our own – we have skin in the game and, for better or worse, the skin is all ours.  We’re not simply advisors– we’ll join your board of directors and do the heavy lifting whether it is glamorous or not.  And being outside of the management team lets us provide a perspective free from day-to-day constraints. What Inventures Group does may be hard to describe, but it seems to be working.  Now all we need is a catchy name for it…

We're thrilled that the companies have been financial successes, but more importantly, we're honored to have been associated with such brilliant, hard-working people and the many fantastic products which they’ve crafted.
