I'm Cole, an entrepreneur with a running addiction. 

I am a Co-Managing Partner at Zuvi Investments, a joint family office dedicated to helping small businesses transition into established middle-market companies. 

Previously, I was the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GREEN CREATIVE, a commercial-grade LED lighting company. My partner and I bootstrapped the business to over $60m in annual sales, successfully exiting to a PE fund. Our journey is chronicled in our book, “Flipping The Switch” (available now).

I was also a co-founder of Hey Hero Labs, a platform for personalized video content creation. The company was acquired by Sanctuary Ventures in 2022.

Outside of business, I'm driven by my passion for running. Having recently turned 40, I've achieved personal bests that surpass my times from 20 years ago. I'm always experimenting with new techniques and training methods to optimize performance and longevity.

Joint family office focused on low mid market private equity, angel investing, and real estate.

“Sign here to reduce traffic,” they said. 

NIMBY’s went door to door collecting signatures to overturn our 573 unit project.

They got enough signatures.

But… it was thrown out on a technicality (NIMBY’s didn’t attach entire Development Agreement).

Today, hundreds of families have a place to live.

“I support the mansion tax,” my physical trainer said.

“But the tax applies to market rate and affordable apartments,” I replied between reps.

“Well l voted for the tax, and would again,” he said.

Yesterday I told him: 

“Our investors pulled out of City of LA housing development due to the tax, and to cut costs, I’m ending your services.”

Self storage facilities are gems. 

LaTerra Storage is assembling a portfolio.  

5 existing properties. 

2 under construction:

- 103k NRSF in Dana Point 

- 100k NRSF in Long Beach

3 more set to break ground in 2026!

Collect them while you can!

Met her at a Passion Pit DJ set during a “guys night out” at 1015 Folsom in SF in 2012. 

Bought her a shot of tequila. 

She was a marketing intern. 

I thought I was cool as co-founder of SnowGlobe Music Festival by night and PGIM analyst by day.

Left San Francisco in 2015 taking the best part of SF with me (her).

Married in Tulum in 2016. 

A decade later, she’s a CEO and amazing mother of two, and I’m the one bragging about her. 

Happy 10 years Bhaji Illuminati!

Only at Indian Wells in Palm Desert can you order rock shrimp at Nobu while watching live tennis! 

Thank you Robert Rubano Brian Share Chase Tagen and team!
