We put money, expertise and a build team behind companies people use every day. Some we acquire outright. Some we back early. All of them get operators in the room, not just a cheque.
We invest in, acquire and build companies in technology and lifestyle. Cool Inc, our own product, design and engineering team, does the building. And we back the non-profits that deliver [real services to children and families in need.]

Building something people use every day? Tell us about it.
Cool Inc is how Entourage builds. A product, design and engineering team that works on the companies we own, takes on consulting for partners, and gets an idea from a conversation to something people can use.
We don't just fund it. We build it. It is the same discipline that built HALo.
What the companies in and around the group have done. Figures come from the awarding organisations, not from us.
2004
House Advantage is founded
Jon starts a loyalty and marketing technology company in Las Vegas, later building teams there and in India.
2009
Entourage Investment Group is founded
A private group to own and back technology and lifestyle businesses, with operators rather than passive money.
2019
Independently ranked for growth
House Advantage at No. 1453 on the Inc. 5000 and 347th on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, after 287 percent growth. TV4 Entertainment named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies the same year.
2022
Light & Wonder acquires the House Advantage assets
HALo and around twenty of the team move to the gaming industry leader. Eighteen years from founding to exit.
Cool Inc gives the group its own product, design and engineering team, so the next company gets built as well as backed.

Giving is not a footnote.
Entourage supports non-profits that deliver real services to children and families in need. The drives run every year, and the involvement goes past writing a cheque.
