About 1719 Partners
Our vision: lasting growth. For our companies, our investors, and the future generation.
To 1719 Partners, quality investments go beyond generating superior investment returns. They are also a vehicle to build a better future for the coming generations— a vision many multi-generational businesses also share. 1719, named after the Founder’s children’s birthdates, represents this secondary motivation.
In order to optimize the window of success, 1719 Partners does not operate with a predetermined investment end date. Instead, our investment timeline is dictated by the situation.
We embody our passion for our companies by investing our own capital, and serving as active board members and advisors. All our actions are united by one purpose: continuous growth for everyone involved in each venture.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy isn’t just something abstract. We live it, every day, in each decision we make.
Do No Harm
Our first priority is to do no harm. This means causing no harm to anyone involved in each endeavor— from company owners, to the employees, to the investors. We believe in the companies we buy, and the first step toward growth is protecting what is already working.
The Three-Legged Stool
We view our companies as resting on a stool with three legs: the owners, the employees, and the customers. In order for the company to be strong, its support system must be strong. In other words, taking care of our companies means taking care of all legs of the stool; if the employees, customers, or owners are forgotten, then the stool tips.
We recognize that it is not only ethical to set all legs up for success, but it is also how companies become great and stay great.
1719 Partners treats everyone involved in each endeavor with respect, and operates with honesty, integrity, and care for the greater good. We believe this is what growing companies the right way looks like, with patience and thoughtfulness.
