20 Years of Experience with a Start-Up Mindset 

We know the challenges founders face. We’ve been there, too. Thanks to our decades of thriving and surviving in recessions and booms, alike, we know the financial discipline and operational expertise it takes to build businesses that endure. We also know the importance of staying bold and agile, like the start-ups we’ve funded and helped scale. And we truly love that we get to empower our great founders, every day, with our deep knowledge and networks, so they can focus on creating the future.

Every touch point with PJC has been around how they can add value

Some Highlights

PJC was our first institutional investor. It adds validity to the business if you can get someone like PJC to invest in you, and to be able to do so without really knowing whether we were going to get to six months...I think that’s a huge leap of faith and I’m incredibly grateful that they did.

Alex, Co-Founder & CEO, Lively

PJC has been a fantastic partner for Pixability as we've scaled our business. Their insights and guidance have helped the company through all stages of our growth from a seed investment to the growth stage company we are today.

David George, CEO of Pixability

PJC was one of our first investors. As entrepreneurs making sure your first investor is a good fit is paramount to your success. Since having PJC join our team we have received a tremendous amount of mentorship and guidance that has helped us grow and scale our company.
