Fuel for the Engine of Innovation
Founded in 2009, DeSimone Group Investments was started by Michael DeSimone, along with Lauren DeSimone Shippy, John Goodwin and Kendra Brill.
Our mission was to be fuel for the engine of innovation, supporting entrepreneurs that "made stuff", had a passion for what they did, and truly wanted to build something meaningful.
Our aim was to:
-
Roll up our sleeves, but not micromanage.
-
Be bridge builders in the community, connecting great companies with great partners.
-
Provide opportunities for our founders to grow from the experience of building a company.
-
Operate with a sense of duty to bring new products and technologies into the marketplace, help founders build solid companies that offer job opportunities and add value to the economy.
-
See our investments as Partnerships with Founders to realize potential and achieve purpose.
We're happy to report, we were able to accomplish all of that. Some of our portfolio companies are currently active, some have exited and some are not active anymore. We hope if you're reading this, that you'll be a part of fueling the future engine of innovation.
