The Covey Ecosystem

Don't go it alone anymore.

Entrepreneurs, business leaders, and others who shoulder the burden of wealth or a legacy know that working in isolation can suck the life out of the flame. Whether you're building something out of nothing or turning something into something big, you need many elements to create momentum. No one person is enough, despite what business school tells us. We are all lopsided in our strengths and weaknesses, and so WHAT or WHO stands in that gap?


That's where our Covey can step in.

Every healthy ecosystem is made up of plants and animals that are widely different but rely on and support each other for their life. Each brings strengths and needs that interweave to create an environment of flourishing and growth. Our ecosystem is made up of enterprises, companies, and entities that each serve in their own unique way.

The Wings of Our Covey

Stewardship and Capital

Providing fuel to ignite entrepreneurs, businesses, and charitable organizations that align with our values. Capital infusion in anything can make a world of difference. Sometimes it’s good, other times it’s not. Making those decisions is a practice of stewardship. We have a number of vehicles through which we do this.

Where will you tie in?

While our ecosystem never attempts to play all roles at once for everyone, there is always that one gap, and we're very good at determining the first need and building from there. These are the core elements of our ecosystem where most people first connect. Explore each one further and imagine how we might partner with you to help ignite your endeavor.

The strength of an interwoven ecosystem.

Here's an example of our ecosystem at work, how the different wings work together.

The relationship might start when we have an interest in investing in a new asset class that you have expertise in and you are looking for capital partners. As we build a relationship and find that deep value alignment, we decide to support your dream and invest in you. To help get things off the ground, you hire EBS, our business solutions company, to do your accounting. This gives us both visibility into our investment as well as helping you run more effectively. Maybe on your next investment vehicle, we'll join you as GPs or fund advisors. 

As we work side by side, we'll share what we've found in you with our friends and partners and introduce you to the others who could be helpful to you. As success comes, you might divert some funds to a nonprofit that gives to a cause close to your heart, we can advise and even join in that.

As the years go by, we hope we'll share stories over some barbeque at your company's team retreat hosted at our Lonesome Quail Ranch venue.

This is the strength of an ecosystem. There are many more stories like this to tell and yet to be told.
