Press and fact sheet
Everything here can be printed as it stands, from the boilerplate down to the record of what we run. Not press? Partners and vendors can read who we are and write through the same form. If what you need is missing, ask.
One sentence or one paragraph
The first is the sentence, for a listing or a one-line mention. The second is the paragraph, the longer version of who we are, and it runs without an edit.
Scale Equity Ventures is a Baltimore holding company, started in 2023, that builds, runs, funds and invests in service businesses and helps other owners grow theirs.
Scale Equity Ventures is a Baltimore, Maryland holding company founded in 2023. We build service businesses and run them ourselves, with our own money, and we help other owners grow what they already run. We started with one mobile detailing shop, Obsidian Detail Studios, which our founder ran alone. The software we built to run it became OmniScale, and Scale Detailing grew out of the detailers who asked how the shop booked so much work. Scale Command, our partner app, came out of that. We own every company we run, we take no outside capital, and Obsidian Products and Onyx Window Cleaning are in build now.
