About Us

Middle Coast is built on more than two decades of real operating experience across highly regulated, high-complexity, and capital-intensive industries. Our leadership team has scaled organizations from startup to enterprise, overseen multi-state expansions, operated in controlled-substance markets, built and managed large real estate portfolios, and led businesses generating hundreds of millions in annual revenue.

We’ve built companies in cannabis, gaming, hospitality, e-commerce, DTC, QSR, logistics, commercial real estate, and fitness. We have operated inside Fortune-level organizations, global retail ecosystems, and high-growth venture-backed environments. We’ve partnered with one of the largest privately owned investment banks in the United States, raised institutional capital, and executed in markets where precision, compliance, and operational discipline are non-negotiable. 

• We've scaled businesses from single-location to statewide and multi-state enterprises
   
• Directed operations for companies generating $373M+ in annual revenue
   
• Built and managed real estate portfolios exceeding $520M+ in assets
   
• Designed and implemented enterprise-level systems (ERP, WMS, S&OP, NSO, M&A integration)
   
• Raised and deployed significant growth capital for multi-unit expansion
   
• Led turnarounds, optimized supply chains, and built cultures of accountability
   
• Operated profitably across regulated markets with strict oversight and zero margin for error
   

We are operators first. Strategists second. Stewards of capital always.

Our advantage is simple: we’ve learned to make complex businesses perform in the real world — where execution matters more than theory. We’ve worked in sectors others avoid because they’re “too hard.” Cannabis, gaming, compliance-heavy retail, international logistics, distressed assets — the places where systems break and real operators shine.

This matters in real estate.
Because buildings are businesses.
And businesses succeed through disciplined operations.

We combine proprietary underwriting models, real-world operator frameworks, and AI-enhanced deal sourcing with old-school Midwestern principles: face-to-face conversations, transparent communication, and a firm handshake.

Technology sharpens our process.
Human judgment protects our investors.
