REIMAGINING VENTURE VALUE

The journey for an early stage company is long and requires more than a check. We place a high value on long-term, relationship-based partnerships to drive value. Workbox’s mission is predicated on helping businesses succeed, and we heavily leverage our member platform, guided programming, and institutional relationships to ensure portfolio companies reach their full potential.

Our portfolio companies benefit from the greater Workbox platform and networking infrastructure in several ways.

Programming Services Zoom A

We provide extensive ongoing support, programming, and resources for all of our portfolio companies to utilize virtually.

FOUNDING PARTNERS

Workbox Ventures founding partners have been in the game for over 35 years as both investors and entrepreneurs. Originally colleagues at Brookfield Asset Management, John and Kyle rejoined forces at Workbox to raise the bar on the level of service provided to early stage companies by a venture partner.

We have created a two-pronged platform that 1) provides LP investors with more intimate insight into their investments and 2) immerses our portfolio companies in a network of ongoing support to help them navigate rapid change. Workbox Ventures benefits from a seamless integration of powerful partnerships, a robust founder focused network, and a rapidly expanding physical presence.
