Blount Capital Management appointed Chris Mitchell as a partner.

Blount Capital Management (BCM) is a Houston-based private investment firm with two complementary engines: permanent ownership of steady, cash-generating businesses, and disciplined venture investing. One compounds cash flow for decades; the other captures growth. Both run on the same principle — institutional discipline, entrepreneurial execution. PERMANENT HOLDINGS We buy solid, durable businesses — the kind that compound quietly for decades — pay disciplined prices, and hold with no fund-life clock and no forced exit. Self-storage sits at the core: a 52,000-facility U.S. market, ~65% owned outside the top 100 operators, ~16.8% annualized REIT returns over 20 years, and occupancy near 91% through the last recession. Our edge: the Self Storage Brain, a proprietary AI-powered platform that scrubs 1,500+ live listings a day against a 60,000-facility universe through six stage gates before a partner ever looks; an operating company already built and running, led by a 25+ year executive (5M+ SF, 50+ facilities) with vested equity; and an evergreen structure built for families — take income, reinvest, redeem at scheduled windows, or pass to heirs on a stepped-up basis. VENTURE Venture is where we have real experience and a track record. We back founders we believe in — investing in established and emerging fund managers, and directly into companies at Series A and Series B — bringing the same discipline to growth that we bring to cash flow. PEOPLE Our people are our advantage: highly experienced operators who have built and run businesses, backed by an advisory board of seasoned C-suite executives and strategic partners. Own the platforms. Hold the assets. Compound across generations.
