About Us

Shareholder Ventures (SHV) is a holding company — backed by 85 experienced founders and operators — that helps Acquisition Entrepreneurs acquire SMBs from retiring owners by providing capital, back office support, resources and community to enable the successful Silver Tsunami transition of 500k+ profitable SMBs ($3M-12M enterprise values, leveraging SBA7a loans) by 2040.

Co-founded by CEO Jordan Fliegel (2X venture backed CEO of CoachUp and Draft and investor in 300+ startups) and COO Tim Ericson (founder/CEO of Zagster, backed by $40M in VC), SHV is the investor of choice for self-funded searchers seeking a strategic capital partner for their SMB acquisition.

Jordan and Tim founded SHV out of their own frustration with searching for, and buying small businesses (listen to Tim’s experience here), and came together to create the solution for searchers across the country looking to change the trajectory of their lives and achieve financial freedom through owning a profitable small business, while enabling sellers to retire knowing their company and legacy are in safe hands.
