Board level, hands on
Entourage is a technology and lifestyle incubator.
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.
Companies in and around the group
Three sides of one group
Invest. Build. Give back.
We own, back and build companies, and put the same attention into the causes we support.
The incubator · Las Vegas · Since 2009
Entourage is a technology and lifestyle incubator.
Some we acquire outright. Some we back early. All of them get operators in the room, not just a cheque.
The build team · Cool Incubator
We don't just fund it. We build it.
Cool Inc is our own product, design and engineering team. When a company we back needs an app, a platform or a rebuild, the people who do it are already on the payroll. It is the same discipline that built HALo.
The giving · Make-A-Wish & Olive Crest
Fifteen years of wishes granted.
Entourage backs 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.

How we work
Four ways we work with a company.
Most groups stop at the investment. We keep going, because the team that built House Advantage knows what a company needs in the two years after the money lands.
