There’s more to us.
Beyond searching for a long-term business, we love rolling up our sleeves to help individuals and organizations.
In addition to searching for a business to own and operate for the next 30 years, James and Andrew established Mila Ridge to partner with other entrepreneurs and support their ventures in various capacities.
We have received incredible advice from others while we launched and grew our own companies, and so we get excited about sharing our time and resources to help others succeed. We believe the most successful entrepreneurs are those quickly recognize trends and patterns without reinventing the wheel. We seek to advise, mentor, coach, and invest in entrepreneurs who feel they can benefit from drawing upon our experiences for faster pattern-recognition, decision-making, and implementation to succeed in their own ventures.
Let’s partner up.
We are always eager to provide our help and resources, partnering with you in ways both creative and traditional.
We owe our success to the countless individuals and organizations that assisted us in our careers. We know the best way to pay our mentors back is by paying it forward. Here are several ways we are currently partnering with other entrepreneurs in our community. If you think our time and energy can be helpful to you and your organization in any way, please get in touch and we would love to brainstorm with you.
