Early Stage Partners

edit

Early Stage Partners was formed in 2001 with the belief that the Midwest would create and attract a significant number of companies that would be attractive early stage venture capital investments.

Since then, that belief has been borne out. The Midwest is in the midst of a surge of entrepreneurial energy that is generating high quality technologies and companies. We are pleased to work with the region’s leading entrepreneurs to provide financing, advice, and access to value-added networks.

With a track record of successful investing and $100 million under management, ESP is now investing from Fund II.
