Who We Are

Our Approach

Seven Circles Ventures is a partnership that invests, consults, and walks alongside small to mid-sized businesses seeking growth in all forms of capital — spiritual, relational, and financial.

Just as the Israelites trusted in God's plan to circle the walls of Jericho six times before the walls of the ancient city crumbled on the seventh, the Seven Circles name reminds us that we too must step out in faith and obedience to serve others.

With more than 45 years of combined leadership experience across finance, strategic planning, and M&A, we bring hands-on expertise to help business owners strengthen financial clarity, optimize systems, and scale sustainably to exit well. Our approach is rooted in stewardship and partnership — working with owners who value integrity, purpose, and people as much as performance. We see every opportunity as a potential blessing, a chance to multiply impact through sound strategy and enduring relationships.

Our Philosophy

Five Capitals Framework

We believe by always prioritizing the right forms of capital in the right order, we can be a blessing to others — and financial returns become the result, not the driver.

We lead with Christian stewardship, grounding every decision in faith, integrity, and responsibility.
We build deeply aligned partnerships rooted in trust, humility, and shared long-term vision.
We invest time and resources operating as an extension of the team, not as outside advisors.
We maximize our combined talents, creativity, and knowledge to find solutions together.
Value creation becomes the result of prioritizing the four capitals above.
