We are regional economic experts and private capital market professionals.
Our primary mission is to create jobs and wealth in metro regional economies by applying the principles of technological innovation that we developed. Our principles teach us that wealth is created through new venture creation and new product development.
We apply the same theoretical principles to our professional portfolio management for company pension plans and family wealth accounts at MyOwnFund. Click here.
