Building businesses. That's our mission at Banyan Ventures—a professional venture-building firm located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Banyan invests in and grows early-stage companies with revenues of less than $10 million into valuable and sustainable businesses. To accomplish this, we have established a robust infrastructure and proven development methodology that focuses on strategy, organization, execution, and capital. We don’t passively invest in our enterprises—we partner with entrepreneurs to take their businesses to the next level. Our business model is different, and it works.
Currently celebrating our 10th anniversary, Banyan was founded in 2003 by a team of partners with extensive experience in strategic planning, operations, financial management, sales, and marketing. We are actively looking for qualified operating partners and capital partners and for new venture opportunities in the Intermountain West, targeting investments from $500,000–$2 million.
