RPM has leveraged Midwest Centers of Excellence in establishing its reputation as a national specialist and regional generalists. As a national specialist we invest in companies across the United States selling to the Midwest manufacturing or automotive customer base. As a regional generalist we work to create companies based on novel technologies developed from Midwest research centers. |
We start with the basic idea that venture capital is a service business and our entrepreneurs and portfolio companies come first. In this capacity, we provide unique insight and access for our companies to one of the globe's largest IT customer bases. Additionally, we draw from our own experience in starting companies to define products, find first customers and raise future rounds of capital. |
We have a passion for early-stage companies, as we believe that any company we’d invest in is also a company we’d want to work in. Because of this passion, we are committed to providing a high level of value to our portfolio and have built the firm around working with entrepreneurs in forming and building their companies. |
