Brian R. Gaister co-founded and operates three interconnected platforms—Pennington Partners (multifamily office), SaaS Ventures (B2B SaaS VC), and PTM Partners (Opportunity Zone real estate)—that are designed to co-invest together, giving entrepreneurial families access to institutional-quality direct deals alongside his own capital. He focuses SaaS Ventures on second- and third-tier North American cities outside major tech hubs, believing there is a relative dearth of capital in these overlooked markets where he can back strong B2B founders at lower entry valuations.

SaaS Ventures invests in B2B enterprise tech startups in second- and third-tier U.S. cities like Baltimore and Detroit, focusing on "unsexy" sectors like manufacturing and industrial software that mainstream VCs overlook. The firm operates a dedicated $50M Israel cybersecurity fund and is tightly integrated with family offices through co-founder Brian Gaister's multi-family office platform, allowing entrepreneurial families to access early-stage B2B software deals with co-invest rights.
