JLKT Group · Chicago

Patient capital, personally managed.

JLKT Group is a private family office. We invest in and operate a concentrated portfolio of ventures with long horizons and no outside capital.

A small office, run with intention.

JLKT Group manages the private investments and operating ventures of its principals. We keep the portfolio deliberately small so that every position gets real attention, and we prefer to build and hold rather than trade.

Because we answer only to ourselves, we can move quickly when conviction is high and sit still when it isn't. We do not manage outside capital and are not soliciting investment.
