Promoting Entrepreneurship Outside of Traditional Markets

Our strategic investing group helps early stage companies thrive


Townsquare provides digital media and marketing solutions to clients outside of the top 50 markets in the U.S. We work side by side with local business owners and community leaders in our markets every day, and we recognize the untapped potential in these markets. That's why we decided to launch a strategic investing group, Townsquare Ventures.

Our goal is to bring energy and enthusiasm to local economies by investing in startups and cultivating a thriving entrepreneurial environment in every one of our communities. We will collaborate with other likeminded investors, University systems and local and state economic development organizations to support the early stage ecosystem.

Work with investors who understand the startup grind

Not all investors are created equally. We have built and scaled businesses from the ground up. Just look at Townsquare Interactive and Townsquare Ignite - we understand the challenges and pitfalls. We provide capital, but don't underestimate the "strategic" benefits we can bring to tip the scales of success in your favor:

Avoiding common startup pitfalls
Developing a successful go to market strategy
Focusing on key operating metrics through various stages of growth
Leveraging the massive reach of Townsquare's media and marketing services platform

Townsquare Ventures offers much more than funding - we offer a comprehensive support system and mentorship for our entrepreneurs in their (and our) hometowns. Contact our strategic investing group today to find out how we can help you scale.
