Hi, we're Smash.vc

We buy minority ownership positions in bootstrapped small businesses

(and then help grow them)

Our Beliefs

Bootstrapping is a good thing.

"Lifestyle business" is not a dirty word.

Profit first, growth comes second.

It's ok to take some chips off the table.

Who we are:

SmashVC is a group of individual investors who buy minority stakes in profit-driven internet businesses. We aren’t venture capitalists hunting unicorns, we are not a fund, and we are not aiming for growth at all costs. Instead, it is best to think of Smash as an experienced potential long-term partner for you and your business, focusing on promoting a healthy work-life-balance, and a profit-first mentality.

We are open to acquiring anything from 5% to 50%
of a business that is a good fit for our group.

How we work:

After finding the ideal business, we write the founder(s) a check, bring in our experienced marketers and advisors to help the business grow, and then stay out of your way and let you do what you do best: run the business how you see fit.

Here's an easy to follow conversation of what we do

*Only thing to mention is that any type of company will work (doesn’t have to be tech), and now our ideal check size is $500k, but we’re happy to work with bigger or smaller companies.
