We’re a private venture group that backs and builds great companies.
Headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, our teams and collaborators work from all over the world.
Sovereign was founded from the idea that leaders can move faster and deliver more value when they are free to focus on what they do best. We partner with industry and category experts to identify opportunities, build out teams and solve for necessary functions so they can grow faster and stronger. Our investee companies are partners, benefiting from the streamlining effect of Sovereign’s support.
Sovereign is also the home of Etcetera, a venture studio focused on digital products.
We’re intentional about the human relationships that define our work and take joy in what it means to make a difference together. Driven by a competitive spirit and restless by nature, we’re selective about what we start and see it through with total commitment, every time. We earn our wins, learn from our losses and never, ever cross our fingers and hope someone else will figure it out for us.
