Our backing

Our investors

We’re thrilled to be backed by Ballast Point Ventures out of Tampa, Florida. They’re a later-stage venture capital and growth equity fund founded in 2002 to provide expansion capital for rapidly growing, privately held companies. They are particularly excited about backing companies in Florida, Texas, and other parts of the Southeast, like the place we call HQ: Nashville, Tennessee.
