We got our start rapidly deploying and scaling technology startup companies at a business incubator, so startups is in our DNA. CSF was started to provide a vehicle for us to provide consultation and support services to small businesses that were outside of the scope of what we did with the incubator. Over the years we have consulted with hundreds of potential founders, listened to their ideas, and then helped them craft a path forward. Sometimes we just provide advice, sometimes we take a hands on role.
While we no longer work directly with the business incubator, that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy starting new ventures. We have a number of companies in our portfolio that are owned directly by CSF and were started from scratch and grown into the businesses they are today.
