    Two ways to work with us

    You bring the deal

    You've found a company and need an equity partner and deal team to close it.

    We bring the company

    We source the company. You run it, with a stake in what you grow.

    You lead it, with a stake in what you grow

    Two ways into a shared operator partnership: bring a deal or lead a company TTUN sources. Both paths meet at the operator leadership role.

    Have a business in mind?

    TTUN Ventures invests its own local capital in established businesses. We focus on established businesses with $500K-$5M EBITDA within about 250 miles of Louisville, KY. If you are an experienced operator who has found a business in that range, we are glad to talk about whether partnering makes sense. Any investment is subject to our diligence, investment approval and signed definitive agreements. Operators in TTUN companies typically share in ownership; terms vary by deal.
