“We Build Brands to $50 Million and Beyond.”
In five years or less.
Investor. Mentor. Brand Builder.
I’m Colin Sprake — entrepreneur, investor, and builder of multiple 8- and 9-figure companies across North America. Over the last two decades, I’ve scaled brands in a range of industries, not just for profit, but with purpose. My approach combines hands-on mentorship, bold leadership, and systemized growth — but at the core, it’s always been about people. Today, I partner with founders who care deeply — about their teams, their customers, and the impact their business has on the world around them. Together, we build brands that are not only scalable, but soulful — businesses that uplift lives and strengthen communities. If you're growing something meaningful and want to scale without losing the heart of your mission, we might just be aligned.
How We Build Extraordinary Brands
We don’t just scale brands — we scale the right brands, with the right people. Our focus is on high-potential businesses we believe in, and our framework is purpose-built to grow enterprise value to $50M+ within five years — with clean, strategic exits where it makes sense, and long-term holds where the vision calls for it. This isn’t casual advising. We take an equity stake, embed deeply, and bring everything we’ve built — our systems, leadership models, financial frameworks, and operational playbooks — into the partnership. With Colin’s background in engineering and deep financial acumen (outlined in the Conscious Capitalist Brochure you can download below), everything we do is grounded in structure, precision, and long-term value creation. At the core, we believe in building extraordinary things together — businesses that win in the marketplace while making life better for the people they touch. If you're ready to grow with integrity, clarity, and conviction — you're in the right place.
Think You’re a Fit? Read This First.
We’re highly selective about the brands we invest in and mentor. To maintain our standards and drive real outcomes, we only review brands that meet the following:
- Already in revenue.
- We do not review pre-revenue or pre-launch brands unless the concept is truly an industry disruptor.
- Not SaaS or software-based.
- We focus on physical, operational, service-based, and traditional brands.
- Not “online marketing” brands. While we use digital marketing as a lever, we don’t invest in businesses that are digital marketing.
- Clear differentiation.
- You’re not just a “me too” business. We look for brands with a unique angle, bold vision, and momentum.
- Founder-first mentality.
- You care about your people, your product, and your profit. Culture matters just as much as EBITDA.

Still Wondering If You’re a Fit? Start Here.
Do you invest in ideas or startups that haven’t launched?
A: Only if they are truly unique and market-shifting. Otherwise, we focus on brands with traction and momentum.
Do you work with SaaS companies or online-only businesses?
No. We don’t operate in the SaaS or online marketing space. We scale real-world brands with proven models.
What’s the investment structure?
Every deal is different, but we always operate with equity alignment and growth partnership.
Can I just get mentoring without giving up equity?
Possibly. But most of our growth engagements are equity-based. That’s how we ensure real skin in the game.
Do you buy companies outright or only invest and mentor?
Both. In some cases, we acquire majority ownership or the entire company. In others, we take a minority equity stake and partner for growth. It depends on the opportunity, the founder’s goals, and the growth path.
What stage is the ideal fit for your investment or mentorship?
We work best with companies doing at least mid-six to seven figures in annual revenue, with clear potential to scale. If you're already moving but need systems, leadership, and growth support to hit the next level, you're likely a strong fit.
📝 The More Honest and Detailed, the Better.
