We don't just fund it.
We build it.

Las Vegas, Nevada
Entourage is a technology and lifestyle incubator. We invest, acquire and build companies, and we back the causes that serve children and families.
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.
