Sandbox Industries Finds Venture

Success through Unique ProcessSandbox Industries uses a new model of investment. While in many ways the company looks like a traditional venture capital firm, it places entrepreneurs at the center of its processes, seeking to help them build their businesses rather than over-managing them. The company’s employees are entrepreneurs themselves, and through initiatives like their startup foundry, they help their portfolio companies create new services and products that will change the lives of their customers.

Success through Unique ProcessSandbox opened as a startup foundry, where new ideas for businesses could be developed internally and then sent into the marketplace. The company has continued to use that model as it grows, but it has also opened several funds that invest in both internally and externally developed businesses.
