Bucking conventional wisdom comes naturally to us because we’re from the world of entrepreneurship and executive leadership, not finance. Our team brings diverse thinking and a fresh perspective that’s too often lacking in this business.

Our Values01 / 03

We’re
Operators

Bucking conventional wisdom comes naturally to us because we’re from the world of entrepreneurship and executive leadership, not finance. It gives us the confidence to be aggressive when we believe strongly in a company’s potential.

Our Values02 / 03

We Forge
Deep Alliances

Anyone can cut a check. Our strength lies in our ability to listen, to truly understand, and to find the right way to help each unique founder we team up with.

Our Values03 / 03

We Work Hard
to Earn Respect

A reputation is earned, not given. We’ve built ours through years of consistency, curiosity, and truth-telling. When you love what you do, hard work comes naturally.

Focused on Investing

Royal Street Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm with offices in Kansas City and Utah. We are focused on investing in technology and technology-enabled startups in under-capitalized markets such as the Mountain West, Midwest and Southeast. RSV is a partnership of operators who have built and sold many businesses of all sizes. We often tell entrepreneurs we are looking for companies who have "built it, sold it to someone who's not your uncle or your college roommate and are looking to raise $1M-$3M." If it sounds like we'd be a good fit for your growing business, we'd love to meet you!
