Founder, investor, or creative looking for a fresh path? You’re in the right place.
What I'm up to with fide
Ventures and Companies
We back people, not just projects. Often we are our own client.
Every investment, partnership, or product we create starts with the right person at the core. From local entrepreneurs to overlooked talent, we combine capital, expertise, and trust to turn purpose into results—building ventures that last and companies that matter with passive returns.
Services
We work where trust, skill, and opportunity meet.
fide manages investments, takes stakes in small and mid-sized businesses, and steps in as a steady hand when leadership or strategy needs sharpening. We back founders and owners who move with purpose, bringing capital, connections, and real-world experience to help them grow, adapt, and last. The best investments are usually in your community.
Right Brain
Beyond the balance sheet. fide backs creative and philanthropic projects that spark connection and open doors — from art, media, and comedy to youth programs, mental health initiatives, and second-chance opportunities. We support ideas and people that make the world more interesting, inclusive, and worth building.
fide capital
fide invests in people with purpose—connecting visionaries and opportunities with the resources they need to create legacy, community, and passive returns. We build lasting relationships and ventures where trust comes first, blending entrepreneurial insight with genuine stewardship.

Hello (possibly again?)
My name is Dan and this is fide.
I have a lot of nicknames and my friends call me Danny. I created fide—a place where meaningful ventures are built on trust and vision.
You may have gotten here because I gave you a card. Â I am glad you found us. Â Welcome!
At fide, real relationships drive every decision; the lines between partner, advisor, and friend are meant to be bridges. I want to be your partner in business and to find investment opportunities for you, investors, and myself. I will maximize what you do, whether growing your top line or decreasing overhead costs.
We invest in people with purpose, backing founders and businesses that want to turn insight into legacy, community, and lasting returns. We seek consistent predictable partnerships for our investors. Your business does not have to have *sparkle*. It just needs to make sense.
Whether you’re seeking guidance, a partner/exit in an established “boring business”, or a home for your next dream, Fide is where opportunity and stewardship come together.
How Fide Creates Value
Strategic Acquisition Focus
-
Target Profile: We acquire established service-based businesses with $1–3M EV, focusing on companies with predictable revenue streams and growth potential.
- Disciplined Approach: We acquire established service-based businesses with $1–3M EV, focusing on companies with predictable revenue streams and growth potential. Our process begins with relationships — understanding each business deeply, building trust with owners, and offering strategic guidance. Through these partnerships, we often unlock recurring cost savings and operational improvements that act like passive returns for owners and investors alike. When the fit is right, we deploy our own capital to acquire or invest, scaling businesses with both financial discipline and long-term vision.
