Transforming businesses with hope and humanity.

We give companies a new life, new path, and new direction towards long-term success and solid ground.

Leading with heart yields high performance.

We're your trusted partner that sees the power and potential in big ideas, turning them from what could have been into what will be. We identify companies we see as strong and soulful, and we make them even better, particularly in times of uncertainty or distress.

We believe high performance and heart work together synonymously, an approach that allows us to thrive in scenarios that others might avoid.

Our team is made up of builders, dreamers, and believers.

We’re not a bunch of bankers trying to make the quickest buck. We are founders and builders who are powered by possibility, and in it for the long haul. We measure our success by the pride we feel over our creations and the way they serve all stakeholders involved – customers, employees, and investors alike.

As a team of seasoned operators, our diverse experience and sense of adventure provides a unique ability to identify potential, instill best-in-class execution and management, and deliver meaningful long-term growth.

We build because we love to.

Our passion is to uncover greatness. We show companies what was always there — the value, excitement, and opportunity that got buried in the crazy.

We are open to out-of-the-box deals because we think like founders, not bankers. We specialize in designing deals that creatively solve for the needs of all parties, and we will never waste your time in unnecessary diligence or bluster.

An ideal Arising Ventures acquisition typically involves a well-built software platform with proof of an established competitive moat that meets our metrics expectations.
