Diverse expertise. Shared conviction. Sharper decisions.
Shaffer Co is a family holding company built by four siblings, each of whom has spent a career becoming an expert in their own field — from real estate and manufacturing to venture capital and medicine.
We invest our own conviction alongside our partners', across venture, private equity, real estate, small business, and medical opportunities. We back what we understand, and we understand more together.
Every opportunity is stronger for having four distinct perspectives around the table. That combination of range and trust is our edge — and what we bring to the founders and operators we partner with.
Early-stage companies with conviction founders.
Established businesses with room to grow.
Development and repositioning across asset classes.
Acquiring and operating enduring companies.
Healthcare ventures informed by clinical insight.
