Three exits in two years. Four companies still running.
Frontier Foundry builds, acquires, and operates founder-led businesses, and runs them ourselves rather than owning them from a distance.
Companies we have built, bought, and run.
Built by operators. Based in Austin.
We find, buy, and build founder-led businesses across technology, digital marketing, home services, media, and the outdoor economy. Then we run them ourselves. Since early 2024 that has produced three exits and a portfolio of four operating companies, each one stronger for the technology, leadership, and demand we put behind it.

Build it, buy it, run it properly, sell it for real money.
Most small businesses do not fail because the work is bad. They fail because not enough people know they exist, and because nobody has built the systems to run them well. We fix both, from the inside.
Build
Start from an LLC and a domain. Texas Turnkey Ranches and Deer Camp Digital both began this way, with the service lines, crews, and lead flow built from scratch.
Acquire
Buy founder-led businesses with real customers, capable people, and room to grow. We only buy what we could run ourselves.
Operate
Work directly across strategy, technology, sales, marketing, finance, and leadership. Deer Camp Digital is the marketing and technology partner behind every company we own.
Exit
Sell to an operator who wants the demand more than the equipment. Three completed since 2024, including one at roughly five times invested capital.
Why we built the agency instead of hiring one.
We had the visibility problem in our own companies, so we started a company to solve it. Deer Camp Digital was conceived inside Frontier and spun out in mid-2024. It reached a seven-figure annual run rate in under 18 months, serves clients across the country, and builds its own software.
We never sold it. It is the marketing and technology partner behind every company we own, and it is the reason the model repeats.
Every company since 2024.
Three sold. Four still running.
