Publicly listed portfolio partnerships include Margaritaville at Sea, Artifact Real Estate, USA Wheels, Enable Dental, Areahub, Thompson Fabricating and Circle 8 Crane Services.

Mellon Stud Ventures invests directly as an active family investor, taking board seats and providing operational oversight to platform companies alongside project-level real estate development.
