Private holding company · Est. 2006
Building technology companies that last.
Since 2006, Black Line Ventures has built, bootstrapped and held a portfolio of product-led technology businesses across six industries.
About
Permanent owners. Independent operators.
Black Line Ventures is a closely held company. Each of our businesses was developed and spun out under our ownership, and each now operates under its own name, with its own leadership and its own customers.
The holding company is deliberately lean. Strategy and shared services sit here; products, customers and day-to-day decisions sit with each company.
Permanent equity
We build and bootstrap businesses to keep. No outside investors, and no exits.
Independent companies
Each company has its own CEO and leadership team, and runs its own business.
Shared direction
We set corporate, product and technology strategy across the portfolio and provide shared back-office services.
Portfolio
Six companies. Six industries.
Our companies operate independently and under their own brands.
