BUILD Capital Partners
A Utah private equity firm that co-founds and builds companies in healthcare services and infrastructure. The office is a founding partner and invests in BUILD's vehicles.
Jacobsen Ventures invests the Jacobsen family's capital in companies it can help build, and holds them for the long run.
Jacobsen Ventures is the investment office of the Jacobsen family, based in Logan, Utah. It began in 2013 as a venture building practice, taking technology and operating roles inside early-stage Utah companies, and became the family's office as those positions grew.
Today the office holds interests in private equity, healthcare services, water infrastructure and freight technology, and its family includes FDEV, an AI engineering firm. It invests from the family's own balance sheet, with no outside investors and no fund term, so it can hold a good company for as long as it stays good.
The office has filled COO, CTO and board seats at companies it owns. It invests where that operating experience can change the result.
Family capital has no fund clock. The office plans to own good companies for a generation and adds to them as they grow.
A concentrated portfolio lets the office move quickly when a company needs capital, a hire or a hard decision.
Portfolio companies run on AI systems built by FDEV, the family's engineering firm, so they do more with smaller teams.
The office co-founds and co-invests alongside the people who run the business, and it stays close after the check clears.
Every holding is chosen with the next generation in mind, and the family's younger members already invest alongside the office.
The office favors businesses with real operations, recurring demand and a clear role for hands-on ownership.
Each focus area follows a company the office helped build or a market it knows from the inside.
