• Business Development: business strategy, research, writing, financial modeling, valuation, fundraising, pitch deck and content creation

• Accounting: outsourced CFO, cloud accounting using SaaS platforms, financial reporting, financial analysis, tax structuring and preparation, advisory

our roots

Hickory Street is the main thoroughfare in a small West Texas town where the Spear brothers grew up. It is emblematic of many small town main streets -- the local intersection of people, ideas, and commerce. It is a place where the people are as friendly as they are hard-working, and a handshake is as meaningful as an overpriced contract. We no longer live on Hickory Street, but we carry the culture with us and it informs the way we do business.

We formed Hickory Street Ventures to formalize some of the consulting work we were already working on, and to seek out new opportunities to help startups, non-profits, and small businesses reach their goals. We're experienced in management consulting, private equity and venture capital, accounting, startups, and non-profits.
