Little Still
Little Still is Brooks Kanski's single-family office in Jackson Hole, deploying permanent capital across private equity, venture, and real estate.
Little Still
Little Still was formed in 2016 when Brooks T. Kanski relocated to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, establishing a single-family office designed to operate permanently outside the institutional fund cycle. The firm manages capital for a single household, executing direct investments and select fund commitments without outside limited partners. The office runs a flexible mandate that spans later-stage venture capital, growth equity, and cash-flow-positive real estate. Known co-investors include other single-family offices and individuals in the Jackson Hole and greater U.S. Mountain West network. While the firm does not disclose a full portfolio list, tracked positions suggest emphasis on asset-light consumer businesses, industrial technology, and specialty real estate in secondary and tertiary markets. The office favors structured equity and minority recapitalizations where families retain operating control. Little Still operates with a deliberately lean team centered on Kanski, supported by an analyst bench and a small operations staff. With no external fundraising requirement, deal pacing is episodic and opportunistic. As of 2025 the firm maintains a permanent capital base, which allows it to hold assets indefinitely. No separate philanthropic foundation or adjacent club vehicle is publicly named, though the firm participates in informal co-investment groups common to the Mountain West single-family office community. The firm's structural differentiator is its permanent, time-unconstrained capital base coupled with a relationship-driven sourcing model rooted in the Jackson Hole family-office network. Rather than competing in open auctions, Little Still relies on direct introductions and co-investment invitations from fellow operators and families — an architecture that can accommodate bespoke transaction structures that fund vehicles with fixed lives typically cannot underwrite.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Little Still?
Brooks T. Kanski serves as Managing Partner and makes all investment decisions. He previously spent time at Goldman Sachs in a structuring role before relocating to Wyoming to form the office in 2016. The firm operates without an investment committee of external members.
How does Little Still source its deals?
The firm sources opportunities almost entirely through relationship channels. This includes co-investment invitations from other family offices in the Jackson Hole and Mountain West network, as well as direct introductions from operators and wealth advisors who understand the firm's mandate. It does not rely on auction processes or investment-bank-led broad marketing.
Does Little Still accept outside capital or operate as a multi-family office?
No. Little Still is a single-family office managing capital for one household. It does not accept outside limited partners, operate as a fund manager, or provide wealth-management services to third-party families. The permanent capital base means it has no fundraising cycle.
What investment stages and asset classes does the firm target?
Little Still pursues a multi-asset mandate concentrated on three areas: later-stage venture and growth equity in asset-light businesses, private equity in industrial and consumer companies, and cash-flow-positive real estate. The firm has shown a willingness to provide structured minority equity and preferred stakes, often in situations where families retain operational control.
What is the firm's typical geographic focus?
The firm is headquartered in Wilson, Wyoming, and concentrates its real estate and direct investment activity in the U.S. Mountain West and other secondary and tertiary markets. While it can invest nationally, its sourcing advantage lies in off-market transactions centered on the Northern Rockies corridor.
Does Little Still maintain any philanthropic foundation or adjacent vehicle?
No philanthropic foundation, donor-advised fund program, or separate investment vehicle is publicly associated with the office. The structure is deliberately streamlined around the single-family-office entity itself, without the multi-generational platforms visible at larger family offices.
How is Little Still's team structured?
The office is lean by design. Brooks Kanski leads all investment activity, supported by a small team of junior investment professionals and operational staff. This keeps overhead low and decision-making fast — an approach that matches the episodic, opportunistic deal flow the firm pursues.
