believe in what’s good
We believe investing in good is good business. And as a single family investment office, we’ve taken this forward-thinking strategy and demonstrated over the years that it’s an effective one. Our core business is partnering with inspirational companies to do more good. But moving forward, we are setting our sights on innovative ideas, whether that means finding like-minded partners who are interested in doing good or building a portfolio of good people and good ideas. Today we are on track to make smart, sustainable strides in building our business. Tomorrow? For our partners, for each other, for our communities: We invest in what’s good.
Vision
Do more good
Mission
Partnering and investing in good as good business
invest in good ideas, good people and good impacts
Doing more good is core to our business. We work towards this goal
by investing and bringing an attitude of flexibility to how we work, invest
and partner. There are many stages along the course of an investment
and we are nimble in jumping on board at strategically good moments.
With our far-reaching networks, we are continually making new
connections, while we also remain active participants in our partners’
future fundraising rounds and provide help whenever it’s needed.

became a company
2016 | Our Founding
Wasson Enterprise is formed in Chicago by Greg and Kim Wasson, Lindsay Wasson Lingle and Mike Lingle with a focus on investing in health tech, consumer and retail, and clean tech. In 2016, we make our first investments as a family investment office.
begin to build
2017 | A Year of Partnerships
Our passion for partnering begins, as we enter into our first partnership with Innventure, a commercialization engine firm focused on bringing disruptive technologies to market. We immediately went to work in support of Innventure-backed company, PureCycle Technologies. We also co-founded Cooler Screens, an innovative digital retail platform.
set up our partners for success
2018 | Getting in our Groove
This year, we focused on providing HR services to our partners who don’t have those resources by forming WE People Solutions, an internal Professional Employer Organization (PEO). Also at this time our team expands our support and begins to work closely with our partner organizations, further crafting the blueprint for our partnership model. Additionally, we begin supporting Innventure-backed packaging company, AeroFlexx, through different areas of WE.

2019 | Our Past Strengthens our Future
With our family background in the pharmacy business, we are passionate about unleashing the full potential of pharmacy and allowing pharmacists to enjoy their roles as important health care providers in their communities. Through our leadership, we brought a consortium of investors together to secure a majority ownership with iA, a pharmacy automation company.

2020 | Navigating the virtual world
We kicked off our new initiative: WE Do Good. It’s a formal approach to team volunteerism and community engagement. Also, due to the pandemic, our team moved to a virtual-first workplace.
continue to build
2021 | gaining momentum
Exciting news: iA receives a large strategic investment and PureCycle Technologies becomes a publicly traded company! And we also launched our first SPAC, Foresight Acquisition Corporation, which becomes a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ with P3 Health Partners (PIII). Also this year, Lindsay joins Greg as co-president of WE.
look ahead
2022 | setting the course for the future
With a few years under our belt, we reflect and refocus on where we add most value – partnering. We continue onward with our current partnerships, and begin the search for our next partnership where we can utilize our network, create a positive impact, and drive value for our partners and ourselves. We update our brand to better represent who we are – and where we’re going.
