Martin Ventures

Founded in 1986, Heritage Group, LLC is a privately-held, Nashville, TN based investment and advisory firm focused on the strategic business and capital needs of early-stage healthcare companies. Whether the need is developing a business plan to exploit an idea, investing seed capital for a start-up company, fleshing out company operations, or positioning for a liquidity event, we have the expertise to facilitate success. From 1986 to 2002, Heritage Group principals were the founding management team of four separate healthcare companies, all of which concluded with successful exits. Start-up initiatives are a high-risk undertaking with a wide assortment of pitfalls and threats. Success is the process of mitigating those risks as quickly and efficiently as possible. As veteran operators in many early stage companies, we have encountered challenges, made mistakes and learned valuable lessons. We believe that this "lens of experience" equips us to advise other passionate entrepreneurs on what it takes to build a successful company.
