/ MACH49
Every large company was once a startup
Inside large companies are billion-dollar ideas, hidden talent and ready capital – resources and expertise that are the envy of any startup. Yet most companies never realize the potential of their built-in advantages for growth.
Why?
Because doing that requires them to think and act differently — to recapture the spirit, spark, and speed of their entrepreneurial origins. It’s exceptionally difficult to do — but Mach49 does just that. We help ambitious companies unlock new disruptive growth through Venture Building and Venture Investing.
Focused 100% on execution, we bring Silicon Valley expertise to building and investing in a portfolio of ventures — building capability, not dependency.
