TAMPA, Fla. — July 31, 2026 — Vassar & Company Properties (VCP) is proud to announce the launch of VantriAd Ventures, a new venture investment and commercialization firm founded by Managing Partners Anthony Theriault and Vanessa Theriault.
Building on the entrepreneurial foundation established through Vassar & Company Properties, VantriAd Ventures expands the Theriaults' vision beyond real estate by partnering with innovative founders and early-stage companies seeking strategic commercial growth, operational excellence, and long-term enterprise value.
While Vassar & Company Properties remains focused on real estate investment, development, strategic sourcing, and hospitality procurement solutions, VantriAd Ventures was created to help entrepreneurs transform great ideas into scalable, market-leading businesses.
Rather than serving solely as a capital provider, VantriAd Ventures operates as a strategic growth partner, working alongside founders to accelerate commercialization through:
Go-to-market strategy
Sales and business development
Strategic partnerships
Procurement and supply chain optimization
Operations and process improvement
Marketing and brand positioning
Capital readiness
Executive advisory and mentorship
The firm is actively seeking partnerships with founders developing innovative technologies, products, and services across industries including healthcare, life sciences, artificial intelligence, enterprise software, advanced manufacturing, supply chain, real estate technology, and business services.
"Throughout our journey building companies, we've learned that many entrepreneurs don't simply need funding, they need experienced operators who have built businesses, opened doors, and understand how to scale organizations responsibly," said Anthony Theriault, Managing Partner of both Vassar & Company Properties and VantriAd Ventures.
"VantriAd Ventures was created to become that partner. Our goal is to help exceptional founders accelerate growth while creating lasting value for customers, employees, investors, and the communities they serve."
Vanessa Theriault, Managing Partner, added: "Great companies are built through intentional leadership, strong relationships, thoughtful execution, and a long-term vision. We're excited to partner with entrepreneurs who are passionate about creating meaningful impact and building businesses that have a growth mindset."
VantriAd Ventures intends to invest both capital and expertise, often taking an active advisory role to help portfolio companies improve execution, strengthen commercial strategy, expand market access, and prepare for sustainable growth.
The launch reflects the continued evolution of Anthony and Vanessa Theriault's entrepreneurial platform and their commitment to helping founders build companies that create lasting economic and social impact.
As Managing Partners of both organizations, the Theriaults will continue leading the growth of Vassar & Company Properties while expanding their investment activities through VantriAd Ventures.
