★ ABOUT THE FRANCHISE

We're general managers, not gamblers.

Small Ball Ventures is a Nashville-based venture studio that builds and capitalizes a portfolio of disciplined, JV-anchored startups designed for ~$25M strategic exits. We treat venture investing the way Billy Beane treated baseball: as a math problem in a misallocated market.

★ Founder First

Build the right team.

We pair hungry founders with experienced operators who have already built, scaled, and exited companies. The best teams are not built from identical players. They are built from complementary strengths. At Small Ball Ventures, we use a systematic, data-informed approach to match founder ambition with operator experience, creating a repeatable model for building stronger companies and more consistent investor outcomes.

We're co-founding partners, not passive check-writers. We're a co-founder, board member, and active investor that puts our in-house studio team behind the business (AI implementation, GTM, BD).
