Hi, we’re Bianca and Spencer. Partners in life and business. Start-up entrepreneurs turned business acquirers and business owner advocates. We created Prospera Ventures and built our amazing acquisitions team to buy and grow businesses instead of doing start-up number 5.

Over more than a decade navigating the fast-paced, dynamic startup landscape as either founders or founding team members, we built expert cross-functional teams, learned how to resourcefully overcome any obstacle, and effectively earned MBA’s from the School of Hard Knocks. Through the grind we gained invaluable firsthand experience in the challenges of sustainably scaling while also mindfully designing a successful exit along the way.

When we transitioned to buying businesses, we recognized that many of the small-to-mid-sized business owners we talked to face the same challenges and frustrations on their journey. So we decided to offer our expertise and services to businesses and business owners at every stage of the journey to guide them around the roadblocks we ran headfirst into.

Our mission is to empower business owners at every stage, from initial setup and strategic optimization to ambitious scaling initiatives, succession planning and finally, a successful exit. We understand there are many factors involved in a “successful” exit that allows owners to transition into retirement with peace of mind. Prospera Ventures is dedicated to helping you navigate this entire lifecycle, ensuring a rewarding and successful journey. Whether you're just getting started, looking to accelerate growth, or planning for a smooth succession, we're here to enhance your business value and create profitable outcomes for you, your employees, and your community.

When the time and conditions are right, we’ll buy your business. If we’re not the right buyer, we’ll help find the right buyer.

Here’s to your successful exit!

-BS (Bianca & Spencer)
