Capital Factory – a place where energy, creativity and intellect collide. Fearless founders paired with adept investors build and deliver. Entrepreneurship wins; the ecosystem rolls.

Andrea Besikof Kalmans - Principal, Lontra Ventures, LLC

Helping founders with their startup’s at Capital Factory is a rewarding experience. I met co-founders for two of my startups while mentoring there. Rewarding indeed.

Josh Kerr - Entrepreneur in Residence , Capital Factory

Serving as a Capital Factory Mentor puts a spring in my step – I feel I receive as much or more than I give! On any mentoring occasion, I gain something when fully engaged in an entrepreneur’s enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive.

Crista Bailey - CEO, Andrew Harper

Mentoring is the best way to learn about all the innovations and potential disruption happening in so many different industries.

Shakeel Rashed - Partner, Capital Factory
