By working with us, you will gain access to both our business know-how as well as our extensive network of financial contacts and coffee industry experts.
Coffee Expertise: The Bar 9 Ventures team knows coffee. Our team members are knowledgeable in the coffee world; our advisors are legendary. Between our love for sipping the finest quality coffee we can get our hands on and our desire to build great companies, we’ve got what it takes to help your business thrive.
Bar 9 has an extensive and valuable professional network that includes important coffee-specific connections around the globe as well as a network of experts in strategy, finance, marketing and operations. Work with us and we will leverage the power of our network to help you achieve your company’s goals.
Bar 9 Ventures is in it with you for the long haul. We don’t believe in standardized fund structures that pressure businesses into providing a quick return on investment. With us, you’ll get a long-term partner who is far more interested in helping you do what is best for your business than in making a speedy exit. Our team is on hand to provide guidance and help you build lasting value.
We know that the person best suited to make decisions about your business is you, which is why we are comfortable making minority investments that allow you to maintain control and allow us to do what we do best: use our resources and expertise to help you achieve your goals.
Our relationship with senior executives from La Marzocco, the coffee industry’s premier manufacturer of espresso machines and a key leader at the center of the global craft coffee industry, means entrepreneurs who work with us can gain access to the expertise of knowledgeable coffee sector icons. Members of the La Marzocco team are members of our advisory board and will invest alongside us.
We look for businesses that are interested in sustainable business practices and that care about investing in their employees. We’ll do our part to help you, and in return we hope that you do your part to help others
