We’re creating a future for the place we love
Is a place’s location what makes it special?
Is it the people that live there that make it unique?
Is it the land itself that makes it worth preserving?
Yes.
Spinach Bus Ventures was formed to preserve and promote a place near and dear to each of our founding members. Born and raised in the Skagit Valley we have a deep, fundamental understanding of what makes this place so amazing. And our goal is to help the rest of the world understand what we already know, all while fostering growth in our local economies.
“The Valley’s potential is great.
Our mission is to achieve it.”
Management
Growth, transition and partnership
We believe the best outcomes spring from the right combination of focus, grit, and skin-in-the-game and we bring that mindset to the businesses and assets we manage.
Being involved in the day-to-day operations of our companies helps us to both keep a finger on the pulse of important economic indicators as well as a finger in the air to keep track of critical market trends that could impact investments.
If you're a founder with a great business in a growth industry and/or are looking at transitioning out of your business in the near future, a management partnership with SB Ventures may help identify and create hidden value while at the same time taking a hard look at new ways to save money.
investment
Connected, experienced and local
We’re excited to bring together accredited investors and local partners to identify and champion profitable and impactful local projects. Remaining true to the Spinach Bus vision will remain top of mind as we identify projects and partners.

Strategy, culture and business operations
Change can be difficult for any business, but perhaps especially for founders and multi-generational companies that have been heads-down fighting the good fight in the trenches of ever-shrinking profit margins.
The Spinach Bus Consulting team has decades of experience solving complex business, finance, leadership, policy, and strategy challenges for organizations from Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between and we're excited to bring this experience home to share with our friends and neighbors here in the Skagit Valley.
We have built our consulting services program around proven and actionable strategies and processes that can help local businesses, non-profits, and government organizations find next-level success.
