Life's too short to do boring stuff.
There’re enough boring suits out there. We fund our friends doing interesting things. (And we have day jobs.)
What We Like
We aren’t a private equity fund. We’re a pair of entrepreneurs building our own business. And when we aren’t doing that, here’s where we invest our time, energy, and (a little) money.
Small Business
We left big firms to work in more human-scale businesses, where relationships matter and you don't feel like a cog in a wheel. We love the scrappy, hard-working people who build something out of nothing!
Local Government
We come at it from different angles, but we both believe you can make a real difference (good or bad) in people's lives in government. Especially the local kind that doesn't get the press.
Real Estate
In this digital world, there's something special about physical spaces. We like the well-designed kind, and the kind that just needs a little elbow grease to go from "run-down" to "full of character."
Us.
Beavis and Butthead. Frick and Frack. Jalando. Jo. O&J.
We didn’t know what to call us either. So we chose “Ellery”
What's in a Name?
We forged a friendship walking our bikes home—down Ellery Street—while continuing debates from class at Harvard Business School. We saw most things differently, except for the power of a good laugh. A feeling we couldn’t shake began to develop: we could take this show on the road. We knew it was time to trade in our suits for careers where we could build something to be proud of, where we’d have more skin in the game.

We’re always on the lookout for new partners in exciting industries — but here is where we’ve invested so far.
