About
511 Capital is a hybrid between an entrepreneurial startup incubator and a private equity firm. 511 Capital lives in a space somewhere between “startup foundry” and private equity-style portfolio management. Always, the company looks for novel and competitively sustainable revenue opportunities - and then build branded portfolio companies to enter those spaces. 511 Capital doesn't work with people that want to start businesses like a typical incubator would – the company hatches out the ideas and bring them to life ourselves. For the first few years of its existence, the focus has been developing consumer durables and building the back-end manufacturing capability to manifest new consumer product visions. With offices and operational facilities in Chicago, Illinois and Shenzhen, China, the business is functioning as a mini-multinational. This global spread of talent lets us act as a “global business accelerator,” bringing substantial levels of design, sourcing and manufacturing talent
