# Harriet Ventures

> Long-term private equity for owner-operated businesses in the lower middle market. We buy, hold, and protect culture for generations.

Harriet Ventures is a private investment firm that partners with owners of profitable, owner-operated businesses — typically $2M–$10M EBITDA — across media, healthcare, financial services, essential services, membership, and consumer sectors. We do not flip companies. We buy to keep, operate with patience, and steward the people and culture that made the business worth owning in the first place. This site explains who we are, what we buy, how we partner, and how owners can start a conversation.
