At Lake State Venture Capital, we believe in the power of enterprise to drive innovation, employment, and community prosperity. Rooted in Minnesota but with a national outlook, our team partners with entrepreneurs and business owners to invest, acquire, operate, and exit companies with integrity and insight. We bring capital, strategic guidance, operational expertise, and a network of professionals to every engagement.

Exited
Master franchise operator of Crisp & Green's, owning all franchise licenses in the state of Minnesota.
Invest
We provide growth capital to companies with high potential — whether early-stage ventures or later-stage opportunities — with the flexibility and understanding of a smaller firm. Our goal: be more than just a check; we’re a partner.
Operate
Beyond capital, we buy and co-operate businesses where we see untapped value. Through operational discipline, strategic alignment and hands-on leadership, we help companies scale, optimize and thrive.
Exit / Broker & Advisor
For business owners looking to transition, we offer advisory services, sale representation, and acquisition execution. We understand that an owner’s journey doesn’t end at growth; it often culminates in a meaningful exit or next-stage ownership transition.
