Founded in 2014. Based on Camano Island.
Invents.US, LLC is a small holding company for a portfolio of ventures in technology, retail, and professional services.
Who we are
Invents.US was founded in 2014 by serial entrepreneurs with direct operating experience across multiple industries. We are the parent entity for ventures that our team builds, runs, and invests in — not a fund, not an accelerator, not an advisory practice wearing a different hat.
We keep the team intentionally small. Most engagements are run by someone who has built and shipped the thing before.
How we work
We take a hands-on approach. Whether that's developing a new product, standing up technology infrastructure, or running retail operations, we apply the same rigor we'd use on our own businesses — because often, they are.
Our structure lets us move quickly, share resources across ventures, and bring cross-industry pattern recognition to every engagement. Lean by design, focused by choice.
How we think about the work
Build, don't posture
Execution beats strategy every time. We'd rather ship something functional than pitch something visionary.
Move at the pace of the problem
Some work demands speed, some demands patience. We pick the right gear and stay in it.
Breadth is a feature
The best answers usually come from the industry next door. We work across enough domains to notice the patterns.
