Who We Are

Founded in 2006, Dempsey Ventures is a family office holding company with a focus on medical products businesses, real estate developments, and sports industry investments with a long-term perspective. Dempsey makes controlling and minority investments while participating in the operations and management of the companies it controls. Unlike private equity firms which use “other people’s money” and must buy and sell to make returns for investors, Dempsey’s funding comes solely from its Founder and its Operating Partners with the goal of owning and growing businesses for generations.

At Dempsey, we understand the concerns and goals of owners. Why? Because we are the investment arm of someone who has been there -- an actual founder, owner, and operator of businesses.  Additionally, our CFO and one of our Operating Partners spent their early professional careers advising business owners on accounting, finance, tax, and legal matters and now utilize those skills in operating businesses on behalf of Dempsey. Our Operating Partners each have over three decades of management and operational experience, one specializing in growing businesses through M&A, one in manufacturing, engineering, and quality, and the other in sales and marketing.  We have had many roles and titles: entrepreneur, operator, investor, counselor, CEO, COO, CFO, CPA, JD, Mechanical Engineer, VP of Business Development, VP of Sales and Marketing, Sales Manager, and General Counsel.  We believe the sum of these experiences uniquely qualifies Dempsey to hold the most important title we can ever have — partner.
