Good Human Investment Partners does two things #1. For Family Offices, Good Human is an independent venture capital firm that offers well curated, high potential, fully diligenced late stage venture growth opportunities. #2. For high potential growth companies, Good Human offers access to Family Office investors, who are different in kind (and often substantially better) than traditional PE investors. We’re not bankers or brokers. We’re not running blind pools or auctions. Rather, we’re an independent venture capital firm that matches up exceptional companies with great investors. We have a unique model that delivers alignment and value creation for founders and funders as opposed to capital with a fund driven exit calendar. Reach out if: - You have an excellent company and are seeking exceptional capital - You're a Family Office professional and want access to curated direct investments

Rent Ready introduces a modern solution, to an age-old apartment industry problem. After a deep dive in the industry, Rent Ready discovered that the make ready process was disjointed, frustrating and time-consuming. Onsite staff members were scheduling six different services with six different vendors – creating scheduling nightmares along with unexpected challenges and headaches. As a full-service partner for onsite apartment staff, Rent Ready handles the frustration between the move-out and move-in, as a single-source for all turn services: paint, clean, carpet, wall repair, punch and counter and tub resurfacing.
