INDEPENDENT INVESTMENT & ENTERPRISE
We invest in small businesses and creative enterprises that give people more control over their work and more room for their ideas.
Explore our focusOUR CONVICTION
For an owner, it can mean the independence to earn a living on their own terms. For a creator, it can give an idea a way to reach people. We invest with those outcomes in mind.
WHERE WE INVEST
1/ SMALL BUSINESS
Small businesses turn personal ambition into livelihoods and opportunity close to home. We invest in enterprises that help owners serve their customers and build with greater independence.
The work begins with everyday decisions: earning trust, managing costs, and making the business work.
2/ CREATIVE ENTERPRISES
Our creative enterprises explore human-computer and human-AI interaction: products that help people express ideas, exercise judgment, and act with confidence.
These ventures are in stealth. We'll share more as the work develops.
HOW WE THINK
We ask what someone is trying to do, where they get stuck, and what would help. That gives us three principles for the work.
People bring habits, culture, and uncertainty to every interaction. Design should respect that context and make the next step understandable.
When AI takes on work, people need to know what it is doing, where their judgment is needed, and how to change course.
A story can help someone imagine a different future. A useful tool can help them begin. We look for ways to connect those moments.
THE FOUNDER
A global view.
A personal reason to build.
Raised in Lorman, Mississippi, Tory understands how a person's starting point can shape their opportunities. His work focuses on helping people put their talent and ambition to use.
He leads product design for WhatsApp Business at Meta, working across business messaging, commerce, and AI. That experience brings a global view of how technology fits into the daily work of business owners.
Hargro Capital brings that perspective to independent investment and enterprise. Business ownership keeps Tory close to operating decisions; writing and filmmaking inform how he connects people with ideas.
An Alcorn State University graduate, he also serves on its School of Business Executive Advisory Board.
