ABOUT
Our goal at English Venture Capital, LLC is to help entrepreneurs turn their own ideas and visions into successful companies. We are looking to help great ideas turn into profitable businesses that make an impact in their industry and beyond.
We invest in our companies for the long haul and understand that success takes hard work, dedication, and sheer perseverance. We give our partners personal guidance from the very first stages and provided them with all the resources and expert advice they need to turn their visions into disruptive reality.
VENTURE PORTFOLIO
Partners. Visionaries.
We started by investing in ourselves, family members, and close friends. We wanted to show what is possible when you build upon a solid foundation. We are looking to partner with motivated entrepreneurs in multiple industries and sectors. Here is a list of companies we launched and grown under the English Venture Capital, LLC portfolio.
A Legacy Continues
Patricia and Ronald English had a combined 35 years' worth of teaching experience before they both lost their battles to breast and pancreatic cancer. Gone but not forgotten their children choose to honor them the best way they knew how. By starting a non-profit memorial fund and gifting two individuals with a scholarship in early childhood development and mathematics annually.
Happiness Through Helping
Originally called Rise Entertainment & Management Consulting. We decided to rebrand and shift the focus. WERX looks to focus on helping entrepreneurs plan, launch, grow, and manage their small business. We knew this business could provide an immediate impact socially and lay the seeds for a future financial return.
Transitional Wealth
Generational wealth, financial assets that are passed on and built upon with each generation within a family, is particularly important to future financial security. This company was established as a vehicle for grandparents to ensure their grandkids had a foundation for opportunities and access to better education, health, and jobs as they grow.
Environmental
Awareness
Serving delicious plant-powered pastries while maintaining a love for animals and the environment, Homegrown Vegan Cafe looks to be the premier cafe serving the Greater New Orleans area. With vegan and gluten-free options, we look to reduce the impact on the environment around us and applaud our customers for making the same decision when choosing to dine with us.
