The Finger Group

Overview

The Finger Group is a family office based in Lenexa, Kansas, specializing in private equity and venture capital investments across various sectors. They focus on partnering with exceptional founders from inception, providing both capital and hands-on operational support. Their involvement extends beyond financial investment, contributing to sales strategy, business development, recruiting, financial modeling, pitch preparation, and capital markets. Their investment approach is stage-agnostic, operating at the intersection of venture capital and private equity. They deploy flexible capital across three primary areas: Early Stage, Buyout, and Special Situations. In Early Stage, they partner with founders from inception, offering both capital and operational support. In Buyout, they provide majority or minority capital for acquisitions of established businesses with strong fundamentals. In Special Situations, they work with management teams to carve out divisions, repurchase equity, support acquisitions out of bankruptcy, and facilitate succession planning across sectors from technology to real estate. The Finger Group measures success by the quality of the businesses and teams they back, the degree to which they contribute, and the durability of what they build together. They are drawn to marketplaces, SaaS, fintech, healthcare, behavioral science, and tools that improve productivity. They also invest in offline businesses with recurring revenue characteristics, aiming to be the first call a founder makes, whether the news is good or bad, not because of some contractual obligation but because they’ve earned that trust through their contributions.
