Based in DFW, Jacob and Alli Miller are looking to buy and operate one business from an owner who deeply cares about their employees and legacy


Our Why


Second Ventures: The Right Partner

Jacob founded Second Ventures with one simple goal: to buy one business and operate it with integrity. His father set the standard in his own small business—he cared for employees like family, always gave customers the benefit of the doubt, and never missed a payment he owed. Our hope is to honor not only your legacy but Jacob’s father’s as well.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

More than just a career, your business has become a part of your legacy. You have spent decades building relationships, earning new customers, and establishing the right culture for your employees. Selling your business is more than just a transaction, it is a partnership with someone to carry your legacy on.

Our Value Proposition

Second.


People before profits

We put the wellbeing of others first; our ambitions as shareholders are second

Independent.


What you see is what you get

Unlike traditional investment funds or strategic acquirers, we are not beholden to third-party investors or shareholders

Furthering your legacy

Through sustainable growth, our goal is to extend the legacy of your business well into the future
