Vintage Capital is Democratizing Access to Elite Private Market Investments. Previously only available to an exclusive few, Vintage partners with world class asset managers to bring once closed products to everyday investors.
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Sept. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vintage Capital, a groundbreaking private market investment platform, is proud to announce its launch, bringing elite investment opportunities to a wider audience. Historically reserved for the ultra-wealthy, world-class investment firms are now within reach, thanks to Vintage Capital.
Changing the Game
Access to premier investment firms like Oaktree, Carlyle, and Apollo has long been limited to a select few. Vintage Capital is on a mission to change that narrative. With a keen focus on investing in private assets alongside top-tier sponsors, Vintage Capital is reshaping the investment landscape.
Our Core Beliefs
At Vintage Capital, we hold these fundamental beliefs:
Most investors are overexposed to public markets.
Investors deserve access to elite private asset managers.
Investing in a diversified pool of private assets should be more accessible.
We leverage our extensive network to provide investors with opportunities that are often challenging to access directly, all while maintaining far lower investment minimums compared to those required by the underlying managers.
Seizing the Opportunity
In light of recent pricing corrections, Vintage Capital believes the current market conditions are exceptionally favorable for private market investments. We have designed our platform as the private market investment firm we would choose for our own capital.
Simple and Transparent
To ensure the best possible returns for our investors, we have implemented a straightforward management fee-only structure, passing through all fund profits directly to our clients.
What’s Next
In the coming weeks, Vintage Capital will be launching a credit fund, expanding our investment offerings. We are also committed to sharing valuable investment insights and additional opportunities with our community periodically.

Jenni Wender said the couple has built their success on doing things the right way for the right reasons. “It’s a blend of exceptional customer service and serving a top-notch drink. Our customers may pop by for just a moment, but in that time, we strive to give them the best. We’re always bustling, always caffeinated, always ready!”
The Wenders opened Edelweiss Coffee at 201 Ridge View in Iron Mountain in August 2004. They attribute the shop’s continuing success to its unique operation and support from Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, an award-winning coffee roaster and coffee business consultant.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Edelweiss Coffee’s 19th anniversary and the incredible journey they have had,” said Crimson Cup Founder & President Greg Ubert. “It has been an honor to support Jenni, Tom, and their team every step of the way. We are committed to empowering independent coffee shops and sharing our passion for exceptional coffee.”
Ubert set up the company’s 7 Steps to Success program to teach entrepreneurs with little or no coffee experience how to open a coffee shop.
Based on his book, 7 Steps to Success: A Commonsense Guide to Succeed in Specialty Coffee, the program has helped over 300 entrepreneurs in 30 states start and run independent coffee shops serving their local communities. Many Crimson Cup customers like the Wenders have been thriving for 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years after opening.
“I would absolutely refer Crimson Cup to anyone opening a coffee shop,” Jenni said. “The product and training have met or exceeded any expectations I ever had.”
“The support was unexpected and has been extremely helpful to me over the past 19 years. Whether I need help with equipment or how to prepare a beverage, Crimson Cup has already done it and can help me.”
“The coffee is the best,” she added. “Customers tell us all the time, ours is the best coffee they’ve had, and significantly better than chain store coffee! If they are visitors, they make sure they get our coffee when they’re in town. College students can’t wait to get back to Edelweiss. And our regular customers are the most loyal of all.”
Tom said he counts on Crimson Cup to provide products that will make the best coffee drinks around at a reasonable cost. “They’ve made a lot of changes during the last 19 years, but I just stick with their recommendations, and I have never been disappointed,” he said.
Thinking about opening your own coffee shop? Tom offered this advice:
“Make the coffee shop your full-time job. Believe in yourself and your business plan.”
“Especially in your first year, consistency is king. Put personal flair on the back burner and prioritize a standard approach to preparing drinks. It ensures every cup is as memorable as the last. Imagine running your coffee shop like a franchise – everything is done a certain way every single time!”
Jenni said she thought the independence of being her own boss would be the best part of owning a coffee shop. “But it really has been getting to know so many customers.”
The Wenders invite everyone in Dickinson County and the Michigan Upper Peninsula to pick up an exceptional latte, mocha or other beverage at Edelweiss Coffee. The shop at 201 Ridge View in Iron Mountain is open 7 days a week. To learn more, visit the shop’s website.

How can businesses be sure they are working with a reputable tax credit partner? Arvo Tech outlines some of the key things companies need to look out for when choosing a partner:
Thoroughly Vet Services: Delve into the provider’s history and check their knowledge in the tax credit arena. Positive client testimonials, an exemplary track record, and accolades are a good starting point. But arguably, the most important thing is to ensure that the service has experience in tax credits and compliance that predates COVID-era programs such as the ERTC; accordingly, you should ensure that they have client testimonials that pre-date ERTC and other COVID-era programs.
Evaluate Eligibility: Compliant providers operate with clarity, offering insight into how they are determining eligibility and documenting their findings in writing. Because of the complexities of the program, be wary of any provider that asks you to self-assess your business’s qualifications for the program or those that don’t provide their expert assessment of your eligibility.
Understand Insurance Implications: Ensure the partner you choose provides proof of professional liability insurance in the event they incorrectly qualify your company. Predatory service providers often have stringent terms within their contracts, alleviating them of any liability if a company gets audited and claims are disallowed. Look out for things like “I agree to defend and indemnify tax credit provider from any adverse actions as a result of credits claimed for the Employee Retention Tax Credit” or “You agree that you have the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice, and/or information to make your own evaluation of the merits, risks and applicable compliance requirements under applicable laws of any use of our Services and are not relying on us.” These are actually provisions in the contract language of some of the new providers who are spending heavily on advertising. A good tax credit provider should stick with you through the end, helping you navigate potential audits and other inquiries into your claims.
Improperly claiming the ERTC can wreak havoc on a business, resulting in repayments, penalties, and time to manage the audit. If the IRS does audit a claim, companies must defend how they qualified as eligible for the credit, including ownership structures, determination of full-time employees, what constitutes a government order, and more.
According to an Ohio restaurant owner and Arvo tech client, “navigating the ERTC maze seemed like an insurmountable challenge. With Arvo’s guidance, not only did we maximize our benefits, but we also gained an invaluable partner who championed our interests with unparalleled expertise and dedication. Their holistic approach has been a game-changer for us, ensuring we remain compliant while optimizing our fiscal benefits.”
