Introducing the Appalachian Group of Companies

In a nutshell, our business is entrepreneurship. We find new and niche markets, develop the technologies (or simply license existing technologies), develop the business model, find the start-up cash to launch, and then spin them off into standalone companies or sell them outright to investors and entrepreneurs.

The Appalachian Group is dedicated to bringing to life a series of start up ventures that will shift paradigms and change industries around the world. Our mission is simple:

To create businesses that help people, make our world a nicer place to live, and preserve our natural resources. All the while, making a profit for our investors and partners.

To facilitate our very different goals and to satisfy the needs of our investors and partners we are divided along 3 basic lines: Product and Service Innovation through Appalachian Labs, New Venture Creation through Cane Creek Partners, and Organizational Research through our Center for Leadership and Organizational Research (CFLOR).

Please take a few minutes to explore our pages, explore our business models, review the research efforts, and read our blogs. Then we would love to hear from you. Any thoughts, ideas or comments that you wish to share would be greatly appreciated. Read More
