Launching businesses that change the world.
Saturn Five is a company that builds great companies. We do more than invest: we are entrepreneurs who start, fund, operate, and grow strong businesses. We partner with force-of-nature leaders to bring important ideas to life. And we work with successful founders to transition their businesses to new ownership.
We don't chase quick exits. We play the long game and build companies that bring real value to individuals, families and communities.
