As both a managing partner of Ignite Venture Partners and a solo investor, Landon has pursued the same approach. That of an engaged, active, impact investor.

Landon has had the real-world experience of putting personal funds at risk. He has used investing to further his personal passions. Ignite is no longer making new investments but Landon continues to pursue his belief in mutually beneficial investments.

Landon is often engaged by companies in which he invests as a strategic partner. Landon’s investment thesis is “active investing”, as the relationship is never just financial. Landon is truly invested in the success of these companies, through financial, intellectual, and social capital.

He invests in people he likes and wants to work with, who have developed innovative solutions, to solve big problems, that have the potential to make a positive, real-world impact. 

He takes a longer-term view with investments, focused on relationships, not transactions. His investments are focused on where he feels he has direct experience and can add the greatest value.

Most of all he looks for a compatible culture, with a proven track record, which employs solution-oriented thinking to accomplish its goals with tenacity, and a make-stuff-happen mentality.
