Our culture makes us who we are.

At 1848 Ventures, culture isn’t just conversation; it’s a way of life. Culture is what we do, our behaviors, our rituals, and our practices. It is the actions that enable our set of evolving relationships and the experiences that they create. Our culture is grounded in the practice of virtues. This enables our pursuit of excellence, which we express and measure by our actions.

We live and breathe these core beliefs, sharing responsibility to bring them to life and turning them into tangible actions that shape our collective identity. Through intentional behaviors, purposeful rituals, and ongoing practices, our culture is a dynamic force that propels our organization towards innovation, growth, and lasting impact.

The 1848 Ventures Community

We work where we live (in 21 states and counting) and believe that this geographic diversity only enriches our team's diverse thinking.

However, we equally value moments of in-person collaboration. These purposeful moments foster stronger connections, enhance team cohesion, and serve as a catalyst for creativity, strategic planning, and a shared sense of purpose.

And when you work with cool people, fun is bound to happen.
