Founded in 2008 as the family office of entrepreneur Allen Nance, Southern Equity became a multi-family office in 2021. An entrepreneur first, Allen founded three companies from 2000 – 2015 that consistently ranked among the fastest-growing businesses in the United States. Southern Equity maintains an entrepreneurial approach, always investing our own capital first before inviting co-investors.
We partner with exceptional entrepreneurs to build businesses that deliver transformative economic and social value.
Who We Are
We are a dynamic group of close-knit, diverse investors who never stopped being operators, visionaries, and entrepreneurs, united behind a bold vision of what’s possible.
Entrepreneurs First. Investors Second.
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the challenge of finding the right opportunity. We have built businesses and know firsthand what it means to drive revenues, navigate uncertainty, and generate value. Our entrepreneurial approach translates to 3 pillars: an unparalleled global network, trusted advice for the long-term, and a mission-driven strategy.
Our Mantra
We don’t sit still for long. We’re excited about what’s happening all around us. We’re relentlessly curious — we don’t let our experience get in the way of learning. And this is why we leave no stone unturned in our quest to create value.
