Higher Ed Capital provides equity and advice to early stage digital companies that use technology and efficient work flow processes to address customer needs.
Higher Ed Capital seeks to fund companies looking for early stage investment from partners who have been there before. Our primary focus is investing in higher education and human capital that uses efficient deployment of technology as a key strategy. However, we will evaluate investments in any industry.
Higher Ed Capital understands the multifaceted challenges that entrepreneurs face. Our founders' primary digital business was created as a solution to the challenges they experienced in their respective fields. For more than two decades they have collaborated and built relationships with many like-minded individuals in the traditional allied professions that serve entrepreneurship.
Higher Ed Capital is committed to helping entrepreneurs move their company from a viable organization to a vibrant industry leader. Capital and assistance can be found from a variety of sources but we believe our commitment to relationships and business ethics is essential. Stakeholders often care just as much about how you do business as the business you do.
