We’re seeking entrepreneurial business leaders to join our next cohort of small business Presidents.
What is Teamshares?
Teamshares is on a mission to create $10 billion of new wealth for lower income Americans through employee ownership. You can think of us as a hybrid of a software company, an education company, an investment company, and a support network.
We purchase successful small businesses that fit our guidelines and work with employee owners to place a new President who will lead company strategy, operations, culture, and growth. Teamshares network companies generally range in size from $2M-$10M in revenue and have 7-150+ employee owners.
Teamshares is a Series C funded company backed by QED Investors, Spark Capital, Khosla Ventures, Collaborative Fund, Inspired Capital, Slow Ventures and Union Square Ventures, among others. To date, our 100+ team has placed, trained, and supported over 40 small business Presidents.

-
Replace the previous retiring small business owner as the new President of the company
